About This Activity

Explore the vibrant Swargashram Market, a bustling marketplace in Rishikesh offering spiritual items, yoga accessories, handicrafts, and local products. Located in the Swargashram area near Ram Jhula and Parmarth Niketan, this market is perfect for buying authentic yoga mats, meditation cushions, incense, rudraksha beads, gemstones, spiritual books, Ayurvedic products, and traditional Indian clothing. The market also features local handicrafts, wooden carvings, singing bowls, and souvenirs. Bargaining is expected and part of the experience. The market reflects Rishikesh's spiritual heritage while catering to modern yoga practitioners and travelers. Many ashram stores and small shops line the narrow lanes.
