Ram Jhula is iron suspension bridge on the river Ganga in Rishikesh. Ram Jhula connects Muni Ki Reti with Swargashram. The bridge is pedestrian bridge but people also drive bikes on it. There are two similar bridges in Rishikesh. The old one is known as Lakshman Jhula. Ram Jhula is new one so it is named after Lakshman’s brother Lord Ram. Ram Jhula is total 230 meters long. Ram Jhula was built in 1986.
Ram Jhula is one of two most famous tourist areas in Rishikesh (another is Lakshman Jhula). Most of the famous ashrams are located very close to the Ram Jhula. Sivananda Ashram, Parmarth Niketan, Gita Bhawan, Swargashram, Omkarnanda, Yog Niketan and many others are located near the Ram Jhula.
