Accommodation in Rishikesh

AJSHamburg · Sep 14th, 2009, 02:24

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking for accommodation suggestions from those of you who've been to Rishikesh.

I've got everything planned and booked for my first trip to India except a hotel/guest house/b&b in Rishikesh.

I've read through some of the reviews and threads here to get oriented. However, some of the posts are older and things change.

So I understand that Laxman Jhula is the most "lively" (loud/party?) area in Rishikesh, Swarg Ashram is the somewhat quieter "main" part (for tourists/visitors) of Rishikesh and High Bank north of Laxman Jhula the quietest part, but a 20 minute walk up a hill.

I'd like to stay in a relatively central location and not have a 20 minute walk in dark every evening to get to my hotel.

I'm not looking for ultra-low budget nor am I looking for exquisite luxury. I'd just like a nice, clean place with a great view with friendly staff. I'd be perfectly happy staying in a INR 500 per night b&b if the place comes recommended. Price ceiling INR 3500 per night.

I would appreciate your suggestions!

Thanks!

For that kind of money you can stay practically anywhere you want in Rishikesh. There are a few places Muni ki Reti side that you could check out including the GMVN Ganga Resort. Or stay in Bhandari Swiss Cottage and there abouts, where there are quite a few guest houses and swiss cottage accommodations ranging from 300 - 1500 per night.

You can try Tapovan resort in mid range..

Hotel Divya and Ishaan are good in budget range...

Thanks for the tips! I'll check those places out.

I'm a bit surprised at how comparatively little info there is online about accommodation in Rishikesh. Most other hotels in the more visited towns have a million reviews.
