Atali Ganga Resort, Rishikesh

This place in INSANE. The location alone is actually magical. No joke. You are looking right at the Himalayas on the banks of the Ganges River. It is impressively serene and calm. The villas were huge with super comfortable beds and there was always someone there if you needed anything. I had an amazing massage while I was there and the food was INCREDIBLE. Not kidding, i would fly all the way over to stay here again. And it took 20+ hours to arrive. Highly recommend.

Absolute Bliss, about 30 mins away from the hustle bustle of Rishikesh but still in Rishikesh ***** side the Ganges, this is an awesome property, very unique. It has 22 cottages / villas, all with a fabulous view, 3 sides glass wall, great sit out / balcony, ***** with on the side is your own small garden / lawn, where you can chill or do your yoga, ( yoga mats available in the rooms). The cottages are a good size, king bed, extra bed, walk in wardrobe, good sized washroom, with a hot water kettle, that's it, no TV, no fridge, no mini bar, no wifi, no room service, just enjoy all the natural beauty around you. A very good experience, yes they do have a very good Daikin heater / air-conditioner. The food is excellent, great breakfast, very good options to dine including a pahadi menu, the ambience is fanfastic at the restaurant and all around. The entire team is courtious and always greeting and welcoming with a smile, which is most important when your holidaying. Mr. Mohan Singh and Jai Prakash really took good care and recommended some great dinning options. Thank you to Ms Tanya Tulley who is a fantastic host and for really guiding and advising us for all the fantastic activities they offer and also a walk to their private white sand beach option touching the crystal clear Ganges flowing ***** on the opposite side to this natural beauty property Atali Ganga. We had Villa no. 9 which is in the middle of the property but if anyone has fitness issues then I surely recommend to go in for the lower villa option as the steps can get steep for a few.

This was our second stay at Atali and the first during winter season. The views are breathtaking, the cottages are quite cosy and the food is extremely fresh and delicious. Above all, the staff is very courteous and warm and ensures a comfortable stay. And most of all, for the adventure sports, specially rafting, one feels safe and secure. I can’t wait to return with my kiddo again for her first rafting experience.
