LAKSHMAN JHULA
Built In: 1939 A.D.
Made Of: Jute Ropes
Nearby Attraction: Ram Jhula
This
suspended Iron bridge was built in 1939 and has been a major attraction
among the tourists to Rishikesh. It is said
that Lakshman crossed Ganga
on jute ropes between the place where this bridge is built.
The Ganges appears very panaromic from the bridge. One can enjoy the
picturesque surroundings and the cool breeze from the River while standing
on the bridge. If you feel like feeding the fish in the Ganges, take a
boat and cross the river.
The boat ride makes the bridge appear more gorgeous. Close to Lakshman
Juhla is the Ram Jhula- This suspended bridge was recently built between
Shivanand Ashram and Swarg Ashram. It is similar to the Lakshman Jhula.
Ram Jhula is also known as Shivanand Jhula.
