- pranzalagarwalNew Delhi, India413 contributionsBeautiful ghat that we visited famous for its gorgeous Ganga Aarti during sunset. Thronged by literally a thousand people but the feeling was divine.Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Enrique AlexNew York City, NY27 contributionsI had an incredible experience at Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh. Attending the Ganga Aarti was truly mesmerizing, and I felt a deep spiritual connection to the divine. The serene environment allowed me to spend quality time reflecting and connecting with nature, and the peaceful surroundings made my stay refreshing and uplifting. Parmarth Niketan offers a perfect blend of tranquility, spirituality, and nature, leaving me spiritually enriched and rejuvenated.
However, there were a few aspects that could be improved. I spent the entire day waiting for a seat in the main area for the Aarti but didn’t get the chance to participate, which made me feel that things were somewhat commercialized. Additionally, the rooms lacked basic amenities like toothpaste, toothbrush, and soap. Despite these issues, I would still recommend Parmarth Niketan for those seeking peace and spiritual connection.Written 9 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sandy DMumbai, India1,106 contributionsThis is an iconic bridge landmark of Rishikesh. The original bridge is shut down while a new one is under construction. The best shops and restaurants are on both sides of the bridge. I crossed over on the boat service that operates only during the day. You must visit the area.Written 19 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- tweeting24j716 contributionsThe place could've benefited from some restoration, but its an enchanting feeling to think that the Beatles were. There are some beautiful murals and graffiti in the abandoned buildings. The perfect place to get you next dp. Should take you a little over and hour to get through the whole place.Written 28 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ChaitanyaBarodaVadodara, India86 contributionsWe were suggested this place bya friend who visited in 2020. This place is also known as Baba Kalikamliwala Ashram. It is on the east river bank of Ganga river.
believe me, we were flabbergasted with the place. We booked a fully furnished air conditioned one bedroom kitchen apartment after a lots of efforts. It has to be booked ONLINE ONLY and the decision makers are based out of Calcutta.
But, it was worth all the efforts.
You have to go to the canteen for your breakfast,lunch and dinner. Food is very economical.
The whole place is full of life.
Our flat no.316 was very close to River Ganga. hardly 100 mts.We attended Ganga aarti for all the seven days we stayed there.
IF YOU JUST WANT TO REST IN CLEANEST ENVIORNMENT, DO YOG EVERYDAY, AND HAVE A TIME OF YOUR LIFE, YOU MUST VIVIT THIS PLACE.
By the way, for young people who want to roam around to visit other attractions like Laxman Zula etc. 2 wheelers are available on rent. Rs 500 per day !!!!Written 11 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is a huge Ashram, once habituated by Mahesh Yogi and his disciples.Now it is famously known as beatles ashram as they stayed here for sometime.Many visitors come here.Here the entire ashram,the meditation caves,hostels and all the related buildings are in ruined state.But give ample time to visit every places inside the ashram, which may take around 1 to 2 hours.Written 4 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
