1. We went for a Retreat organised by PBWF aka Mr LM Kapoor 2. The Ashram was full and we got rooms on 2 nd floor , with a steep flight of steps ( no lifts). 3. Luggage was transported by porters with trollies who have tie up with Parmarth. 4. Rooms booking was done by PBWF and charges are very nominal @ Rs 1000/- day with AC rooms. 5. Location is very good and evening Arti is one of the sought after events in Rishikesh, specially when Swami Chidanand is in attendance. 6. Food arrangements are good in the Hridayam restaurant in Parmarth and we were served Vegan PB meals courtesy PBWF / restaurant. Quality of food was very good. 7. Room cleaning needs improvement and you have to persue with them for services. 8. The lane above the Ganges River to Rishikesh from Parmarth was in bad shape due to digging to lay cables / etc- leading to lot of inconvenience. 9. Weather was good and was gradually warming up while we were there from 12-16.4.23. 10. For the purpose of retreat, cooking was not allowed to demonstrate plan based meals- we missed this part of the retreat.…

Water dropping in bathroom...poor quality maintenance and cleanliness...paint smell....tiolet smell...loud community kitchen exhaust sound directly coming to room.....old loud sounding fan...needs to be renovated and maintained...being a charitable trust with a charge of Rs 1000, money should be put into making rooms stayable

Incredible place, with great energy, the canteen food is the best, and the ayurvedic practice on the grounds is also very good. Arti is incredible, however, suggest hiding money/valuables as thieves cut into our bag during Arti.

Best Ashram for stay if you get the booking in new block and AC room. Obviously, this is for traveller who want to witness more religious stuff rather than cosy vacation. Room are basic and good. Cleanliness is worth appreciating. Rules are well written. Food option in the ashram and surrounding are in plenty Best part is Ganga Aarti. It found is way better than Har Ki Poudi aarti.

I've been regularly to Parmarth Niketan Ashram in the last 10 years, wether for the international yoga festival, Vedic chanting sessions or just as a visitor of the Ganga Aarti ceremony. Unfortunately the disappointment was huge after a 3 years gap due to covid. Things have changed negatively in recent years. The more successful they get the less humble they become questioning the real meaning of what a true spiritual place should be. From egotic yoga teachers to rude staff members that seem to confuse the Ganga Aarti with a VIP night club, I was appalled by the whole atmosphere when I was there for Yoga Festival : strobe lights during the Ganga ceremony, selection at the entrance and - surprise - the national anthem performed at the end made for an indigestible mixture. Little spirituality but lots of confusion. I am hoping they will be able to make a total reset, going back to what we want when we come to an ashram : serenity, humility, enlightenment. I miss that place that I loved few years ago. Garden is beautiful. …

This is a must stop for a few days or more. Accommodations and food very good. The evening Arathi by the Ganges is fantastic and quite a spectacular event. Goes on every night around 5:30pm. there are evening satsangs ( talks) by Sadviji swamini also every night she is there. Highly recommend stopping there

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 is a place devoted to the pursuit of yoga and the ways of the spirit. The people here instinctively switch on a spiritual mode. The aarti and other activities are in a natural way and of great attraction to travellers near and far.

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.
