Exploring the hippie market of Rishikesh, Tapovan.

Namaste 🙏

Hope you all are doing well!

Today’s blog is going to be about my journey of exploring the hippie culture and the unique stores around Tapovan. So after roaming around over Ram Jhula, we decided to explore this town a little bit more this time, more focusing on the Market part of the city.

There were several shops selling Ayurvedic medicines as well as herbs for treatment of various diseases. The shops were mostly near to the Ghat only, but as we moved inside of the city, the shops turned into something different.

This is how the path to the top one looks from the Ghat, and as you can see, it goes through a kind of forest with a pathway in between which you had to cross to get to the other side.

Decided to take a car which was parked in the parking with us because it was a little bit far away than expected. The road was quite good, and we were having a good time. You can see that from the photographs below. Everything looked so beautiful and perfect. Just like we expected it to be . It couldn’t get any better.

On our way, we found some travel shop, selling some unusual stuff like old, traditional souvenirs and stuff. I was really curious to see what this place has to offer.

So we parked a car in a parking near Taman and decided to walk now. It was a good time to walk as the sun was not at all hard on us. We were really having fun walking.

Then we came across these Shop selling unique items like singing, bowls, musical instruments, meditation bowls, and other things use for meditation such as crystals and some special stones. You can see that in the photograph below.

Just near to that, they were some other shops, selling some Hippy clothes, which were really beautiful to see. I bought some clothes for myself and for my friends from the shop.

Just further to that, there was a tattoo shop and piercing shop that was very famous for the tattoo upon checking the Google reviews. One of my friend wanted to do tattoo, but because we were running out of time, so we skipped that idea and postpone it.

In short, this Market is all about Hippy culture, and you can find a lot of unusual things in this market as you can see in the photographs to ranging from crystals to meditation balls to Hippy clothing and Ayurvedic medicines. You can find everything here.

That is it for today, thank you for passing by.
