LAKSHMAN JHULA 🇮🇳 Rishikesh INDIA Suspension Bridge

Lakshman Jhula suspension bridge was completed in 1929. It is said that the Hindu deity Lakshmana crossed the Ganges on jute ropes where the bridge is built.
It is located 5 kilometres north-east of the city of Rishikesh in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The bridge connects the two villages of Tapovan in Tehri Garhwal district, on the west bank of the river, to Jonk in Pauri Garhwal district, on the east bank. Lakshman Jhula is a pedestrian bridge that was also previously used by motorbikes. Despite its location on the outskirts of the city, it is one of the iconic landmarks of Rishikesh. A larger bridge 2 kilometres downstream from Lakshman Jhula is Ram Jhula.
The bridge is set to be closed permanently when a replacement bridge is built parallel to it. Barriers on both sides prevent vehicular traffic including motorcycles and scooters. However, pedestrian access is still possible.
The bridge is being replaced due to its deteriorating condition.
