Why Rishikesh is becoming India's most sought-after destination wedding location and how to plan yours.

Destination weddings in Rishikesh are gaining massive popularity, and for good reason. The combination of sacred river views, Himalayan backdrops, spiritual significance, and luxury resorts makes it one of India's most enchanting wedding destinations.

Why Choose Rishikesh?

  • Spiritual Significance — Getting married on the banks of the Ganga is considered deeply auspicious
  • Stunning Backdrops — Mountains, rivers, and lush forests create naturally beautiful venues
  • Pleasant Weather — October to March offers ideal wedding weather
  • Accessibility — Well-connected by road and air (Dehradun airport is 35 km away)
  • Unique Experience — Your guests get a mini-vacation in one of India's most beautiful towns

Best Time for Weddings

  • October to November: Post-monsoon greenery, pleasant temperatures
