  Mayakund is one of the oldest and most culturally vibrant neighborhoods in Rishikesh, located just a short walk from the sacred Triveni Ghat. The area is known for its narrow lanes, small shrines, and community-based lifestyle, where you’ll see local families, students from nearby ashrams, and shopkeepers who have run their stores for generations. As you explore, you’ll find eateries serving simple Indian meals, old-style sweet shops, spiritual bookstores, and small artisan workshops. Mayakund also serves as a convenient base for exploring Old Rishikesh. From here, you can easily walk to Bharat Mandir, Raghunath Temple, and Triveni Ghat, where the famous Evening Ganga Aarti takes place. The neighborhood becomes especially atmospheric during festival days, when streets fill with pilgrims, flower vendors, and devotional music.
