5 Star Hotels in Rishikesh near Ganga: tips before you book
Staying by the Ganga puts the ghats and the evening Ganga aarti at Triveni Ghat or Parmarth Niketan within reach on foot. The riverside stretches are Tapovan, Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula, Swarg Ashram and Muni Ki Reti. A room that actually faces the river usually costs more than one at the back, so ask which side yours is on.
A star rating is the property's own class: it tells you about facilities such as a lift, restaurant and room service more than about the view or the quiet, so read recent reviews as well.
