Vashishta Gufa
Vashishta Gufa – Ancient Himalayan Meditation Cave near Rishikesh
Discover the serene spiritual side of Rishikesh with a visit to Vashishta Gufa, one of the region’s most sacred and peaceful meditation caves. Located around 25 km from Rishikesh on the banks of the Ganga River, this ancient cave is believed to be the meditation site of Sage Vashishta, one of the seven great sages (Saptarishis) mentioned in the Vedas.
Surrounded by lush forests and overlooking the flowing river, Vashishta Gufa offers travelers a rare opportunity to experience deep silence, natural beauty, and authentic Himalayan spirituality. Inside the cave, the air is cool and still, making it the perfect environment for meditation, reflection, and reconnecting with nature.
