Janki Setu
जानकी सेतु
A new Ganges bridge opened in 2020 that links Muni Ki Reti and Swarg Ashram and eases the crowds on Ram Jhula.
Janki Setu is named after Janaki (Sita), the wife of Rama. It lies about 1 kilometer downstream of Ram Jhula and opened in 2020. It is one of Rishikesh’s newest Ganges bridges, with a wide deck that has pedestrian walkways and lanes for two-wheelers. The east end is close to the Beatles Ashram and Parmarth Niketan, so it is convenient to walk over from the west bank to attend the Ganga fire ceremony. Entry is free and the bridge is open all day, with wide views from the deck.
