Luxury Holidays in Rishikesh

Himalayan splendour, yoga, spas and safari

The beautiful small town of Rishikesh is situated at the foothills of Himalayas where the Ganges River enters the plains of India. This area is known as the ‘Land of Gods’, and Rishikesh is the acknowledged world capital of yoga.

Rishikesh welcomes visitors looking for yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic spa treatments. Go on wildlife safari or trekking in the Rajaji National Park; there’s also white-water rafting down the Ganges, or skiing beneath Mount Nanda Devi. After this, dine on traditional Indian ‘Thali’.

Rikishesh features an ornate, 13-storey high temple, while the Triveni Ghat on the river is a twice-daily bathing place, attended by devotees soothed by the cool breeze.
