How the town sits, in outline
Conceptual orientation only — not a measured map, and not drawn to scale.
How Rishikesh fits together
One town, several jobs
Rishikesh is not one neighbourhood. Guests stay in Barrage Colony / Veerbhadra and travel into town, ashram, yoga, or upriver stretches when they want those days.
Stay here
A quieter residential street near AIIMS and the barrage. Pharmacy, grocery, ATM, a bus stop, and a restaurant sit in the walking radius below.
Go out for town and ghat
Central Rishikesh / Triveni Ghat is the town + Ganga/ghat experience — not this colony.
Go out for ashrams and yoga
Ram Jhula / Swarg Ashram is the spiritual riverside. Laxman Jhula / Tapovan is the traveller, yoga and café side.
Go out for adventure
Shivpuri is the upstream outdoor stretch — a day outing, not the street outside.

Rishikesh by purpose
What this base is for
SocialGully is in Barrage Colony, Veerbhadra. It is not inside Tapovan, the jhulas, or Shivpuri.
AIIMS / medical
The hospital campus and barrage are the walk from the door. This is the reason many guests use this base.
Yoga
Yoga schools cluster in Tapovan and around the jhulas. That is a different part of Rishikesh — reached by local transport, not a walk from SocialGully.
Ganga / spirituality
The river and barrage belong to this neighbourhood. Ghats, ashrams, and evening aarti sit further along the river.
Sightseeing
Bridges, temples, and town sights are a local ride away. SocialGully is not on the Jhula market streets.
Adventure
Rafting and riverside camps are associated with Shivpuri, upriver from this colony — a day outing, not the street outside.
Local Rishikesh
Pharmacy, grocery, ATM / bank, a restaurant, and a bus stop sit inside the walking radius below.
Quieter residential base
Barrage Colony is a residential pocket near AIIMS. It is not the cafe-and-ashram strip of Tapovan or the jhulas.
