Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Visiting Parmarth Niketan is a spiritual journey, wherein one witnesses the finest Hindu dharm has to offer. The comfortable rooms, the lush greenery, the informative and divine sculptures, the organic food while amazing, are not the main attraction to the beautifully located Ashram. It is the spirituality of the people, especially Pujya Swamijis nationalist spirit, his regular call to action during Arti and his continuation of age old traditions of Hindu dharmic leaders paving way for the betterment of the society we live in, is what truly cleanses one’s soul, along with the darshan and Snan of the Holy Ganga ji.
From what I have seen, Parmarth continues to give back to the society, and works hard to fight for the rights of our revered Ganga ji, for which I am forever and sincerely indebted to Swamiji.

If you are at Rishikesh, then there is no other place where your stay can be so perfect. Situated on the banks of Ganges, you will witness Ganga Aarti every day in the evening. The food is more than pocket-friendly. Rooms are priced at 800-1200 and can be booked online from their official site. Stay there and thank me later.

When in Rishikesh you dont have to go anywhere to discover the quiet badly needed.Just stay in the no frills simple rooms, don't expect hotel like comfort.Learn to enjoy simplicity. Simple inexpensive food is very tasty and served with love. You can enjoy morning Yoga and Meditation sessions and the quietness of River Ganga which is the best part. There are markets near by for souvenirs shopping and daily needs.
Evening aarti is quite a spectacle but overcrowded so can be avoided because of Covid pandemic.
Stay at Ashram is the best way to spend your time in Rishikesh

I visited here for a week, taking part in the International Yoga Festival. The festival was studded with the stars of the modern spiritual world, including yogis, monks, best selling authors, and successful new age businessmen. Yoga and lectures by day, with lots of great music sprinkled throughout the day and evening.
The accommodations were relatively clean, generally comfortable, and had all the basics. The grounds were beautiful, with multiple statues of Hindu gods and leaders. The vegetarian kitchen served tasty wholesome meals.
Interesting shopping is right out the front gate, where Indian street culture is on full display, complete with cows and marching bands.
Yoga instruction and inexpensive massages are available onsite.
Spiritual teaching is available free to the public most evenings at a temple onsite.
This place is an ideal spot for spiritual rejuvenation and is highly recommend.
Rishinanda.

Ashram is located at the bank of holy river Ganga. Rooms are clear and with modern fittings. Ashram’s ambience is religious. Ganga Arti is done at the ghat by the Ashram’s renowned priest. Ashram is having cafeteria, it’s charging on a bit higher side but provides a variety of dishes.

Reservation Team confirmed the booking for 3 rooms almost 3 months back ,The request was specifically for AC Rooms . Once we reached there were no room and then we were given a room where even fans were not working in a tempreture of 40'C . Highly unmaintained place and they treat you like garbage. The place is just dedicated for serving Foreign and NRI Guest and everyone is at there service with all facilities. When I asked Reservation Team that why they even confirmed booking if they didnt had rooms then they had no answer. It used to be a spiritual place some time but now just for people who offer donations , rest all they dont care. Highly unmaintained rooms and in poor condition.

We stayed at Parmarth niketan for two days.Its a good property with many features to be visited especially the Ganga arti ,which is at a ghat very near to the ashram.However the room ( the AC one,forget about the non ac one)maintenance is extremely poor.The washrooms are Ill maintained,the rooms have seepage and cobwebs,the beds are creaky,the linen and blankets looked dirty,frequent power cuts with inverter support extending to bare minimum lights and fan,there being no bell/ intercom,the housekeeping support leaving by 5pm. To add to the woes the system is such that while booking rooms there's no option displayed for room preference, and one is totally dependent on the reception staffs discretion and goodwill,which may or may not be exercised to your satisfaction. Surely,the management could do much better on this front.Best wishes!!

WORST ashram in rishikesh. They are only interested in foreigners and VIP's. They provide dirty rooms to common pilgrimage and room charges are no less than hotel charges. The rooms are filled with Rats , dirty bathrooms and when you complain about the facilities the staff behaves very rudely. If you are visiting Rishikesh with family kindly book a hotel as you atleast get the facilities and friendly staff. It's a humble request please do not stay here if you are visiting with your family.

Divine experience . Mesmerising Aarti . The positive vibration of the place connection to oneself experienced can not be explained in words . The organisers were very helpful and took good care of us . Helped us get seated and settle on the stairs .. the music and voice of the singers was heart touching .. I will always remember this experience and surely visit again

Parmarth Niketan Ashram is a beautiful place, not only to visit but also to stay. It has a huge complex and has a lot of activities going on at any particular moment. I haven't stayed there personally but have looked at their rooms when I was there. The rooms are basic but clean and there are various categories.
you can go to their website to be directly in touch with them.
Don't forget to be there at around 6 pm for the aarti at their ghat in the background of the beautiful Shiva statue.
Hope this helps.
