About Ram Jhula

Ram Jhula is an iconic 450 foot long iron suspension bridge suspended gracefully across the sacred River Ganga in Rishikesh. Constructed in 1986 by the Public Works Department in collaboration with the Sivananda Ashram trust, this architectural landmark bridges Muni Ki Reti with the spiritual colonies of Swargashram in Uttarakhand.

Ram Jhula Rishikesh

Larger than its upstream twin Lakshman Jhula, Ram Jhula offers sweeping aerial vistas of river rapids, white water rafters, and multi storey ashram spires rising against the backdrop of the emerald green Shivalik foothills.

Walking across the gently swaying pedestrian bridge is a quintessentially authentic Rishikesh experience. The bridge is frequented by saffron clad sadhus, pilgrims, locals on scooters, and travelers heading toward world famous yoga centers like Sivananda Ashram, Parmarth Niketan, and Gita Bhawan.

Bridge Highlights & Practical Details

Early morning and sunset strolls provide golden photographic perspectives over the river. Public ferry boats operate beneath the bridge for visitors seeking a riverside water crossing.
Visiting Hours: Open 24 hours daily (Best enjoyed 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM)
Entry Fee: Free entry (Public ferry boat: Rs 15 per ticket)

How to Reach Ram Jhula

Ram Jhula connects Muni Ki Reti (western bank) with Swargashram (eastern bank), about 3 kilometers north of Rishikesh Railway Station.

  • By Auto / Shared Vikram: Shared autos drop passengers directly at the Muni Ki Reti auto stand (100 meters from the bridge).
  • By Walking: Paved riverside pathways link Ram Jhula smoothly to Triveni Ghat and Dayananda Ashram.
  • By Road: Parking available at the Muni Ki Reti vehicle depot on Haridwar Badrinath road.

Best Time to Visit Ram Jhula

Ram Jhula is enjoyable to visit throughout the year, with autumn and winter offering particularly crisp, cool breezes.

  • Winter (October to March): Clear blue skies, emerald green river waters, and pleasant walking temperatures between 10°C and 22°C.
  • International Yoga Festival (March): Vibrant atmosphere as yogis and spiritual masters cross daily between ashrams.
  • Monsoon (July to September): Roaring Ganga waters rush beneath the bridge, presenting a dramatic nature spectacle.
