Anand Kashi by the Ganges Rishikesh - IHCL Seleqtions

Six kilometres past Rishikesh's Ram Jhula bridge, Anand Kashi by the Ganges occupies a steep riverbank at the 23rd milestone of the Badrinath Road, where the river narrows and the current quickens audibly from every terrace. The address in Village Gular-Dogi, Tehri Garhwal, places it well clear of the ashram-district foot traffic downstream.

As an IHCL Seleqtions property, the hotel blends Taj-group service standards with a site-specific program: a riverside yoga pavilion runs sunrise sessions before rafting groups reach this stretch of water, and Ayurvedic treatments draw on Uttarakhand herb sources rather than generic spa menus.

Parmarth Niketan's evening Ganga Aarti is a twenty-minute drive south; the Char Dham pilgrimage corridor to Badrinath passes the front gate, making the hotel a practical base for both retreat and mountain-road travel.
