Best Riverside Resorts in Rishikesh: 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.

Resorts mostly sit outside the walkable centre, on the Neelkanth and Badrinath roads or by the river upstream, so budget for taxis or a car. Ask whether meals are included and how far it is to the ghats for the evening aarti.
