Unmapped Rishikesh: Eateries To Eat Like A Local
In the state of Uttarakhand in northern India, the delightful city of Rishikesh is tucked away beneath the majestic Himalayas. Rishikesh, widely known as the "Yoga Capital of the World," is a haven for those who enjoy the outdoors, adventure, and spirituality. Thanks to its pure natural beauty, ancient temples, and peaceful ambiance, Rishikesh offers travellers seeking calm and enlightenment a unique and immersive experience.
In addition to being a spiritual hub, Rishikesh is a great place for adventure encounters. Whitewater rafting, rock climbing, camping, trekking, and other adventure sports are available in the city, which is a gateway to the majestic Himalayas.? ?
Apart from all this, Rishikesh also offers scrumptious food for the people who want to try out different types of cuisines, mostly vegetarian. We have listed a few unmapped places from the city for you to try on your next trip, staying away from touristy crowded cafes and dhabas.?
Tulsi Restaurant?
Hidden in the Ghugtyani Malli area in Tapovan, the place is a green haven. If you are a fan of fresh smoothie bowls, juices, and herbal teas, this is the place to be.
The most special aspect of this place is that the?restaurant has been designed with everything secondhand. You will find a wash basin made out of wok, tables made out of reclaimed wood, glass bottle light fixtures, and much more.
You will also find a cat there, who will most likely take a nap on your lap if you feed her fries. The quantities are large, so don¡¯t worry about not feeling full after you are done eating here.
Cost: Rs. 400 for two people, approximately

Secret Garden Cafe?
Yet another hidden gem in?Tapovan?again. To reach here you will have to navigate little lanes in the residential part of Tapovan but it¡¯s worth it for sure. The place is a garden with seating scattered across the greenland, as the name suggests.?
The place offers great coffee, matcha, smoothie bowls, sandwiches, fruit bowls, and so much more. The food is so fresh and different from what you will usually get in Rishikesh.
You will definitely go there more than once, I suggest having a full breakfast, sitting under the tree. The place is pet friendly and people often bring their dogs and cats, who ask for bellyrubs from everyone, it¡¯s a treat in itself.?
Cost: Rs 600 for two people approximately?

Vj's by the Ganges
If you are craving a good selection of woodfired pizzas, you might think you won¡¯t get them in Rishikesh, but you are wrong. VJs offers freshly baked woodfired pizzas with a wide range of options, among other types of cuisine.
Keep this place for a visit in the night because the view from the cafe is simply breathtaking, you won¡¯t be able to help yourself but take a insta worthy snap of the view. It¡¯s like sitting on the side of a hill, getting a panoramic view of Ganges, Ram Jhula and adjacents.?
Cost:?Rs 500 for two people approximately.?

Little Buddha Cafe
One of Rishikesh's busiest spots is this odd eatery in the shape of a treehouse. This multi-cuisine restaurant, which is on the top level, serves meals with a view of the Ganga. If it's your first time, be sure to get the Buddha Sandwich, the Mixed Vegetable Platter, and one of their pizzas.
