Along the sacred Ganges, where the river tumbles from Himalayan heights, yoga mats unfurl at ashrams that have hosted seekers since the Beatles found enlightenment here. The evening Ganga Aarti ceremony bathes the riverbanks in flickering light and chanted prayers. Brave the white-water rapids for an adrenaline counterpoint to meditation sessions. The Beatles Ashram stands as a graffiti-adorned monument to spiritual tourism. Triveni Ghat offers a front-row seat to Hindu rituals performed with timeless devotion. Nearby Rajaji National Park shelters wild elephants and tigers in dense forest. This vegetarian-only, alcohol-free city serves as gateway to Himalayan treks and the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites that draw the faithful year-round.

EllBee Ganga View

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel with great service! If you’re flying in from Dehradun, they will arrange for a car to pick you up from the airport. You just have to make arrangements with them in advance by messaging them on WhatsApp. Cost is $20 USD. Everyone at the hotel was very friendly and accommodating. I also ate at their restaurant on the 5th floor and enjoyed both of my meals there. Very good food with friendly service. The only minor issue I would note is that the hotel is kind of far from the Janki Jhula bridge and the main ashrams and attractions in Rishikesh (which are in the Topovan area), so you will need to walk quite a distance or get a tuk-tuk or scooter if you want to visit those places. I enjoyed walking and getting a first hand experience of the local way of life in Rishikesh. I would recommend this hotel for its value and wonderful service."

During this time, visitors can explore significant landmarks, including ancient temples, the sacred Ganges River, and partake in activities like yoga and bungee jumping. Additionally, Rishikesh offers opportunities for rafting, camping, and enjoying the natural beauty of its surroundings, making it a destination that provides great value for money.
