Overview
Rishikesh At A Glance
Rishikesh sits where the Ganges leaves the Himalayas and reaches the plains. It has drawn yogis for decades, including The Beatles, who came here in 1968. Ashrams line the riverbanks, next to footbridges and evening prayer ceremonies. The same river also powers some of North India's best rafting, and we arrange both sides of town for you.

Ananda in the Himalayas
★★★★★
Ananda occupies the former palace estate of the Maharaja of Tehri Garhwal, on a forested ridge above the Ganges at Narendra Nagar, about forty minutes from Rishikesh. It opened in 2000 as one of the first destination wellness resorts in India, and it is still the name most associated with the idea here: full-time Ayurvedic physicians, yoga and Vedanta teachers, and a spa built into the hillside with views down the valley. Guests generally come on a set programme — detox, weight management, Ayurvedic rejuvenation, or simple destress — built around consultations, treatments and daily yoga rather than a la carte spa visits. The old viceregal palace building holds the restaurant and library. It is priced and run as a serious wellness retreat, not a resort with a spa attached, and most stays run five nights or more.
Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa
★★★★★
The Taj sits on a bend of the Ganges at Shivpuri, upstream of central Rishikesh, in the stretch known for white-water rafting. The rooms and cottages step down a forested hillside toward the river, most with a private balcony over the water. There is a spa, an infinity pool, and a rafting base run out of the resort for guests who want the river without arranging it separately. It keeps a quieter, more conventional resort format than Ananda's structured wellness stays — a base for rafting, yoga and the aarti at Triveni Ghat, about twenty minutes downstream.
