Top 10 Hotels in Rishikesh: what to know

Rishikesh splits into a few very different bases. Tapovan and Laxman Jhula are the walkable cafe-and-yoga side; Swarg Ashram and Muni Ki Reti sit by the ashrams and ghats; Triveni Ghat is the busy town centre; the Neelkanth and Badrinath roads hold the resorts and riverside camps that need a car. Pick the base first, then the type of stay.
