Lakshman Jhula
This 450ft long suspension bridge built across the mighty Ganges is believed to be connected with the great epic Ramayana. The belief goes that Lakshman crossed the river from the same spot using a jute rope. The bridge boasts of picturesque views and beautiful temples on its ends.

Neelkanth Mahadev
According to mythology, Neelkanth Temple is built at the sacred site where Shiva consumed poison during the churning of the sea. The beautiful carvings on temple doors and walls depict this mythological tale.

Triveni Ghat
Located on the banks of Ganges, a dip in the holy Triveni Ghat absolves you of all your sins. The Maha Aarti (river worship) at this ghat is an amazing experience. Twinkling lamps, fragrance of flowers & incense and holy chants create a heavenly ambience.

Bharat Mandir
This is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. In about 789 AD on the auspicious day of Basant Panchmi, Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya installed the presiding deity in the temple.
