According to the news reports, a group of four men and two women, shifted to a cave near Rishikesh for about a month until the local police discovered them and put them under quarantine at an ashram a few days back. The tourists hail from France, Ukraine, Turkey, the United States and Nepal. They had their accommodation at a hotel in Rishikesh; when they realised that it would be hard to pay their hotel bills anymore, the group took shelter in the cave.

Meanwhile, no domestic or international tourist is allowed to enter Uttarakhand due to the spread of Coronavirus as per the order of the state government.

The government authorities have also announced help to foreign nationals grounded in India during the current lockdown.

Rishikesh is reputed as a spiritual destination not only among the domestic tourists but also among a lot of foreign nationals. The Himalayan town first gained popularity among international tourists because of the music band Beatles that set up an ashram here.
