Cheap Guest Houses in Rishikesh: tips before you book

Prices are each stay's listed starting price per night, usually for its smallest room. Weekends, long weekends and the cooler months from October to March fill up first, and prices rise then; quieter months cost less. Staying a week or more? Ask for a weekly rate, many small places will agree.

Cheaper rooms are often simpler, so check the basics before you book: hot water, a fan or AC, Wi-Fi if you need it, and whether the room is up several flights of stairs.

Prefer to book direct? Our own homestays by the Ganges in Rishikesh are pinned near the top of this page. Send us your dates and group size and we will help you choose, wherever you end up staying.
