Kinwani House - Araiya Anthology

Six rooms at Kinwani House — part of the Araiya Anthology collection — position guests in Rishikesh's quieter northern fringe, 500 metres from the celebrated Ananda in the Himalayas spa resort and well above the ghats' foot-traffic.

The property's small scale means staff-to-guest ratios stay unusually high; the handful of reviews on record all score a perfect ten. Rooms are arranged to capture Himalayan ridge views rather than river frontage, a less common orientation that trades the Ganga's ambient noise for stillness.

Ward No. 2 sits north of Laxman Jhula, giving guests walking access to the suspension bridge and the Triveni Ghat evening aarti without being absorbed into the ashram district's denser lanes. Ananda's trail access and forest buffer make early-morning walks directly from the property practical.
