Breaking News !!! Laxman Jhula is a suspension bridge !!! Though built for pedestrians it accommodates motor bikes, cycles and even cows. At the end of the day it is as good a suspension bridge as any in the world. Whats the fuss about ??

idyllic viewing it from the Ganga, good for a walk but a bit overcrowded and sometimes the locals in two wheelers could be a bother

Laxman Jhula is a bit croudy but a nice place to enjoy a good breakfast or meal in the different restaurants. We just took some place and read a book or enjoy the view on the river or look at all the people passing by. Nice walk between the bridge from laxman Jhula to ram Jhula

Nice view of the river and the ghats, but the bikes and cycles passing on the small bridge don't let you stand and enjoy the view.

Even though this place is supposed to be a must on a visit to Rishikesh, i would advice you to try the Ram Jhula instead. The access to this place is poor, all sorts of vehicles and animals are vying for a place on the narrow bridge that is the 'Jhula'. Nothing spiritual about this place. Avoid Avoiud Avoid.

The view of the Ganga from the bridge is breathtakingly beautiful..... Its a delight to shop at the small shops selling... More

Well, what can you say? This is the classic tourist attraction and view of the area. Locals and tourists flock from near and afar to walk the bridge and have their photo taken on the bridge... HOWEVER... be careful with the yellow-brown monkeys, which can be aggressive (the grey ones are very friendly though) and there is one cow that... More
