Rishikesh is a city 6 hours far from Chandigarh, situated where the river Ganges starts. What you can do there is go rafting, visit temples (in India there are plenty of temples) and practice yoga or go for a massage. It is also very cheap city so you can find nice souvenirs, jewelery and clothes there.
I have some advices on how to survive in Indian city like Rishikesh:
- watch out where you step as there are many cows on the street and people use to spit and throw trash all around
- when bulls are fighting slowly start to move in the opposite direction
- respect the cows in the streets
- be careful with monkeys, some of them are aggressive and use to steal things from you
- if you go to the temple remove your shoes and do not wear any clothes showing your knees
- ask the guy at the hotel to arrange things for you - they like foreigners and can be very helpful
- always bargain the price
