Nestled snugly on the banks of a tranquil River Ganges, Ganga Kinare - A Riverside Boutique Hotel is a charming retreat in the sanctum of Rishikesh, a land where spirituality and Mother Nature blend into a heady concoction. The only hotel resort in Rishikesh built right on the banks of the Ganges, Ganga Kinare overlooks the Rajaji National Park, one of North India's expansive sanctuaries and a melting pot of diverse flora and fauna. The resort boasts of a waterside esplanade beside the sinuous river, where one can soak in the sight of the mountains and revel in the sheer verdancy of it all. The resort houses 38 contemporary river facing rooms, each subtly touched with a flavour of tradition and local culture. Every room of the hotel presents an enthralling view of the interplay between the woods, the great Ganges and the Shivalik hills in the background. In addition, a modernistic conference hall can host up to 120 delegates. The resort can enhance an overall experience through enticing activities including safaris, white water rafting, camping, trekking, biking, nature walks, bird watching, boating, sky gazing, yoga and meditation, and Ayurvedic spa treatments. The hotel has hosted the International Yoga week on many an occasion and its guest list includes dignitaries like Mr Anil Kapoor (famoun Bollywood and Holywood Actor), Ms Lisa Ray (famous model and actor), Mr Rahul Gandhi (Gen Secy, Indian National Congress), Mr Lal Krishna Advani (ex-Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minster), Padam Shri BKS Iyengar, Mr. Moti Lal Vora (ex- Governor U.P.), Mr Ramanand Sagar (producer and director, Ramayana - a renowned television serial), Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad (ex-Tourism Minister, Govt of India), Dr. Karan Singh (ex-Union Cabinet Minister), Mrs Hema Malini (renowned film actress), Ms Yukta Mookhey (ex-Miss World), Pandit Jasraj (renowned Indian classical musician) among international heads of states, ambassadors, artists, celebrities, religious leaders and other VIPs.

Ganga kinare, Rishikesh- A riverside boutique Resort is absolutely gorgeous place to visit to experience the blessings of Maa Gange with their private ghat. This place is exceptionally beautiful with their really class rooms providing glimpse of River Ganga. The service of the room is great and their staff is so polite & courteous. This resort has facilities like gym, gaming areas, spa and so much more. They have a restaurant name Jal and Jalebi which serves the best food not only mughlai, Chinese or Italian but also PAHADI food. The taste is superbly authentic.

Hotel's Favourite
My husband and I had decided to break away from our chaotic schedule and spend some time in Rishikesh by the Ganges and the mountains to soothe our nerves and ground ourselves. Ganga Kinare proved to be just the right place to do this! In all genuineness, the experience exceeded our expectations. We had a 10-day stay at the hotel and were left spellbound by the combination of the majestic view and the service offered to us. The river-facing side of the hotel offers a view of the mother Ganga river in its most silent and yet so powerful form as she gently twirls through the mountains and flows past. The geese flying over the water with the mystical appearance of the multi-colored birds brings added touch to this divine picture. The hotel decor and ambiance beautifully merge and blend into this natural frame and one experiences oneness with nature. Their restaurant food Jal and Jalebi deserves a special mention too! The experience becomes wholesome with such a combination of an extensive spread, live easy music, a surreal view of the Ganges with the mountains, and slow delicious bites (especially the freshly made piping hot Jalebis with rabdi!). To add to this, the service offered by the hotel staff is the cherry on the cake. The service offered pampered us with enough attention and warmth. We both have had a lot of exposure to the customer service industry before and have come across the finest service reps. However, what personally blew us away about the staff at Ganga Kinare was less about their very well-trained mannerisms and more about their innate sense of goodness, sincerity, and resourcefulness that radiated through it all. The management sure has made some wonderful hiring decisions! The staff and their exceptional service have motivated us to write a review for Ganga Kinare. It is well deserved! We would like to acknowledge a few names of the hotel staff that made our stay so memorable: Palesh Maithani (a proactively resourceful being. We want to commend his attention to our preferences and needs and attending to them without the need for acknowledgment or repetition. Truly grateful!), Satpal Singh, Vinod Singh, Sunil Negi, Ram Singh, Ramprakash, and Ratan. The housekeeping staff too were very sincere and meticulous, would especially want to acknowledge Anjali Bartwal and Rajesh for their efforts in making our stay so comfortable. The only bummer we initially experienced was that the hotel was a 15 min drive to Ram Jhula (from our last visit to Rishikesh, we had lived at an ashram right next to Ram Jhula and had enjoyed meandering around the market area and Parmarth Ashram’s Ganga aarti). However, we were bummed out for the initial few hours until we decided to explore the scenic AsthaPath we saw from our room’s window right outside Ganga Kinare’s back door. The long walk was blissful and to top it all it led us to Triveni Ghat where we got to witness the fag end of Ganga Aarti (We did come back for more later). We even rode cycles on the AsthaPath early in the morning, the experience was fun albeit, the cycle seats could have been cushioned better. Overall a wonderful, wholesome, and memorable experience for the two of us – more than what we had expected! We are grateful to the whole team for their service, especially Saurabh (restaurant manager), who is clearly leading his team by example.

We visited Rishikesh in November 2023 and had a very memorable stay at Ganga Kinare resort. The resort is right on the Gangs ghats and has a private ghat for Ganga Aarti and Snaan. The rooms are luxurious, also enjoyed the open to sky Spa on first floor. Breakfast and dinner options were great. The customer care representative Ms Sheetal was very hospitable and ever ready to make sure we were comfortable. Also received valuable tips from her on local sight seeing. A big thank you to Ganga Kinare and esp to Sheetal for all assistance. Ravi Chitnis- Dubai
