Where the Ganga meets stillness
Tucked in the quiet hamlet of Rattapani on the Neelkanth road, Himalayan Ganga Retreat is a curated Pahadi House experience — hand-crafted to be a premium holiday destination a short drive from the chaos of Rishikesh. Artsy interiors, riverside air, and a slow rhythm that matches the flow of the Ganga.
Wake to birdsong, spend your days on the rapids or at the Ganga aarti, and return to warm pahadi meals and a bonfire under the stars. It’s a base camp for adventure, a wedding destination, a yoga retreat — but above all, a place to exhale.

Good to know
What’s the best time to visit?
October to March brings crisp mountain air and the clearest skies — peak rafting and trekking season. April to June is warm and lush. Monsoon (July–September) sees lighter crowds and dramatic greenery, but rafting is paused.
Is it family and pet friendly?
Yes to both. The Maharaja Cottage is built for families and groups up to six, and we welcome well-behaved pets across the property. Let us know in advance so we can set up the right space.
How do I book?
Use the booking card above to send us your dates and guest count, or WhatsApp us directly. We’ll confirm availability within an hour during daytime and share a secure payment link.
What should I pack?
Light layers year-round — evenings by the river get cool even in summer. Warm jacket for winter months, trekking shoes if you’re planning the forest walks, and a swimsuit for the natural pool.
Can you arrange activities in advance?
Absolutely. Our 24×7 travel desk can pre-book rafting, bungee, yoga sessions, Beatles Ashram walks and private transport. Share your interests at the time of booking and we’ll build a custom itinerary.
