⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Iconic Temple with Stunning Views of the Ganga
Trayambakeshwar Temple, also known as the 13-storey temple, is one of the most iconic landmarks near Laxman Jhula in Rishikesh. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is not just a place of worship but also an architectural marvel that immediately catches your eye as you cross the Jhula.
The temple has multiple floors, each with different shrines and idols of various deities. As you move up floor by floor, you feel a sense of spiritual energy and devotion all around. The temple is very well organized, and even though it attracts a lot of visitors, it remains peaceful inside.
The real highlight is reaching the top floor of the temple. From here, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the Ganga River, the Laxman Jhula bridge, and the surrounding hills. Watching the river flow gracefully from that height is a mesmerizing sight, and it’s one of the best viewpoints in Rishikesh.
Outside the temple, the area is lively with small shops selling prasad, souvenirs, and local items, which adds to the charm of visiting.
📍 Location: The temple is located right next to Laxman Jhula, making it very convenient to visit while exploring Rishikesh.
Tips for Visitors:
•	Visit during morning hours for a peaceful darshan.
•	Don’t miss going all the way up to the top floor for the river view.
•	Carry your camera/phone — the view from the top is Instagram-worthy!
•	Since it has multiple floors, be prepared for a bit of climbing.
Overall, Trayambakeshwar Temple is a must-visit in Rishikesh — a perfect mix of spiritual experience and stunning natural views.
✨ Har Har Mahadev! ✨
