Deciduous trees, the Shivalik Himalayan mountains and the majestic Ganges in the Singthali village are a formidable setting for Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa, Uttarakhand, 30 kilometres from Rishikesh. Built from locally sourced artisan materials and spread over 50,585 square metres, the architecture of this magnificent resort pays tribute to Himalayan villages and temple forts. The interiors of the Welcome House pavilion are reminiscent of Garhwali charm with timber, stone, wood and slate forming contiguous spaces in a contemporary setting. Jaali screens, warm fireplaces and an interplay with natural light take centre-stage while curated antiques carry a wealth of local stories. Rooms and villas are built so each one offers unhindered views of the mountains and the Ganges, with understated, plush interiors. The luxury of unending views continues at our restaurants where exceptional dining is the norm. Rustic Himalayan delicacies take pride of place with delicious regional and global dishes vying for your attention while our bar serves up signature drinks in an intimate atmosphere with arresting views. The presence of our J Wellness Circle spa keeps your senses uncluttered with massage therapies, yoga and meditation. A temperature controlled outdoor pool and fitness centre ensures your well-being is top priority, while our pebble-strewn beach allows you to participate in the daily sunset Ganga aarti. With sustainability at our core and a vision to create authentic relationships with our surroundings, the Taj Rishikesh takes significant measures for an eco-friendly stay that is your luxurious sanctuary for respite and serenity. Come, take a restful pause and let our attentive, thoughtful service do the rest. Each of the resort’s experiences and rituals across dining, wellness and discovery draw from the values of the region.
