Laxman Jhula is built by the British Government when they ruled India in 1929 to cross the River Ganga before that there was a Jute Rope (without a pillar) Bridge. In earlier times four wheelers were allowed, but at the present time only two wheelers are permitted due to the people are leaving on another side across the bridge. Ram Jhula is located at 5 Kms north uphill from Rishikesh Main Market and 2 Kms ahead of another Iron bridge Ram Jhula. Both bridges are equal in shape and design and iron made, but Laxman Jhula is a bit smaller than that it has a span of 430 feet.
