Ram Jhula
राम झूला
A long suspension bridge linking Shivananda Nagar and Swarg Ashram, with views of the Ganges and the temples on both banks from the deck.
Ram Jhula was built in 1986. It is about 230 meters long, longer than Lakshman Jhula, and connects Muni Ki Reti (where the Sivananda Ashram is located) on the west bank with the Swarg Ashram and Parmarth Niketan area on the east bank. Only pedestrians and motorcycles are allowed on the bridge. Monkeys and cows are common, so keep your food and glasses secure. Standing on the bridge at dusk to watch the sunset over the Ganges and the fire ceremonies on both banks makes for the best photos. Entry is free and the bridge is open all day. You can also cross the river by ferry.
