Ram Jhula built in the 1980s, the Ram Jhula crosses the Ganges River three kilometers (1.9 miles) downstream from the Laxshman Jhula in Rishiksh, India. While these two bridges are nearly identical in appearance and design, the Ram Jhula actually is a bit bigger.Located in Muni Ki Reti, the Ram Jhula is surrounded by bustling markets and temples on either side. It also plays a key role in connecting the Swargadham, Gita Bhawan and other temples with Sivananda Ashram.Temples and markets aside, the Ram Jhula also is the gateway to a very tranquil, laid back and backpacker-oriented part of town. It was here that Carrie completed her yoga training course and where we lived together for a week at the Shiva Resorts guesthouse: a great place to find cheap holiday deals.Cars and tuk tuks are not allowed to cross the Jhulas, though motorcycles, push-carts, tourists, monkeys and cows often bring pedestrian traffic to a standstill. At any given time, hundreds of people are pushing their way across; and the bridges sway accordingly.
