Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand
The holy city of Rishikesh, in the base of the Himalayas, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for local Hindus. Sacred rivers and mountains set the scene for yoga and reflective hikes, and rafting here is an absolute must. The Beatles got in touch with their Eastern spiritual side here, writing several songs during a 1968 stint at a local ashram.

This was the first thing I decided to do when planning my trip. I have never seen such great reviews on the Trip advisor for any attraction. I had high expectations, but Amit and his wife exceeded them on every level. They were so friendly and accessible. Explaining everything in perfect detail. He handed out sheets with all the recipes and detailed instructions, as well as an overview of the spices. A lot of good cooks can’t tell you why they cook the way they do. They learned from someone and never asked the science behind the rule. They know what to do, but they don’t know why. He can tell you exactly why you cook the aromatic spices in the oil, but add the flavor spices later. He can tell you how to tell if you are overcooking, undercooking, or just right. He knows much of the history of food. We asked a lot of questions and he answered every one clearly and fully. He even offered to accept our questions over WhatsApp if we got stumped when we got home. Amit let me shoot pictures and videos of our entire experience. It was a perfect afternoon. The class was very hands on letting us measure, mix, and cook our own pots. Sometimes if you study with a master, you feel later like everything was a blur and you didn’t really absorb anything. I left this class with a high degree of confidence that I can replicate the results in my own kitchen. That I can use his “Magic Sauce” as a jumping off place to create my own unique fusion dishes using locally sourced, seasonally ripe ingredients from my home in upstate NY. If you have food sensitivities, he spoke about substitutions to make vegan, vegetarian, or lactose free versions of the dishes. He explained each of the primary spices, what they are used for and how they can balance each other. He taught us the difference between aromatic and flavor spices and how to use them. Some, like black pepper can serve in both roles. He owns a spice shop and has crafted some special spice blends perfectly balanced for certain dishes. I have had this experience with Thai foods too. Sometimes the flavors are so complex that it’s virtually impossible to replicate the exact flavor when cooking family size portions. The measurements are just so subtle. Some of his more exotic spice blends contains 25 or more spices in a precise mixture. Even just to stock the discreet spices at home would be ridiculously expensive. His magic sauce is easy to replicate and is the building block that the more subtle flavors stack on top of. I was especially interested in his chai because my chai experiences in USA have often been disappointing. His chai is my favorite and the cooking technique foolproof. You can also get his perfectly blended chai spice, premade. I’m bursting with joy from the experience. I could talk for hours, but just go. You will talk about it and use your new skills for the rest of your life.

I have a spinal problem and have experienced many massages while travelling the world, good and bad. As a lone female, I would normally choose to go to a female but I went to Vicky because he has a good reputation and I needed help from someone who knows what they are doing. I was not disappointed! He is absolutely the BEST I have experienced. EVER. I have seen him three times whilst in Rishikesh and he is definitely one of the reasons to come back! I felt completely safe, relaxed and confident in his hands. He really knows and understands the body and responds exactly to what you need, without words, he just feels it. He is extremely blessed to have such healing hands, he follows his intuition and is literally magic. Thankyou Vicky ????????

Don’t even remember when did I get this good massage last time but coming here was on my list for long time and it was absolutely fantastic again, shirodhara was as great as the massage and gave such an exceptional relief from all the stress that was gathered in the body, I recommend this place to all the Ayurveda lovers.
