Rishikesh · 自然旅社里的独立房间 · 1室2床1.5卫 · 可住2人 · Alaknanda by Aashraya Ganga: Inspired by the wild
Aashraya is an exclusive Himalayan retreat located on the banks of the river Ganga, in a quaint little village about 45 kms ahead of Rishikesh. Surrounded by lush greenery, the gushing sound of the river, and the sweet melodies of a variety of birds, you won’t want to leave this charming, one-of-a-kind place. Alaknanda is one of the 03 exquisite air-conditioned/heated cottages with plush interiors and large glass windows that let you soak in an awe-inspiring view of the surrounding landscape. Each cottage is about 1000 square feet in size and has a double bed and enough space for 02 more extra beds to house a total group size of 04 pax in each cottage. We have set very high standards for our selves. The idea was to use as little cement as possible and no RCC. We wanted to use as much local material as possible. All of our rooms have an air-conditioner for cooling and a wood-burner for heating and we collect dead wood to burn in our room heaters. Aashraya is a 6000 sq. ft. of dry stone construction, consisting of 03 cottages, a common dining and kitchen area. Located in such a manner, to optimize the views, sunlight and privacy. If you appreciate healthy living, going green, the concept of recycling/upcycling almost everything and being one with nature, this is the perfect place for you. Our entire garden is 100% organic, we recycle everything and nothing leaves our premises as waste. The roofs are insulated with recycled jute bags. So far we have planted close to 200 trees comprising of mainly fruit trees and most of our food is grown in our personal farm.
Very good resort. The receptionist was really helpful and friendly. Great staff who knew how to serve the customer. The room was well equipped and the service was excellent. From the room, we could view the mountains and feel the closeness with nature. The location of our room was absolutely perfect. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. Our stay at the hotel was just for one day one night. There staff took us to water fall which was a different experience as if you are in a different world. Similarly in the morning their staff took us to the bank of Bhagirathi(Gangaji). Water was very clear. You feel as if you are at some beach. In such a difficult area you can’t imagine you can get comfort of very high level.
This is one of the best stays I’ve ever had. The photos don’t do justice to the entire property. I was pleasantly surprised since it exceeded all my expectations - the beautiful cottage, the prompt and hospitable service, the scenic views, and the warm staff. You have to park your car at a makeshift parking by the highway where a caretaker is present to look after your car. A lot of other camps have their guests park here too. It’s safe, from my personal experience. The 45-min hike from the parking to the camp can be tiring in the heat of the sun but it is worth it. They have three dogs - Pixie, Jimmy, and Bolt - to keep you company. You can visit the nearby waterfall and beach. They are happy to arrange rafting as well via their contacts. Since it’s a remote property, you’ll want to carry your packaged snacks and drinks. The menu here is extensive and you can get service until 9:30-10 in the night. You will be treated to more food than you can possibly consume. See you again!
We had a lovely time at Aashraya! It’s a beautiful place with serene surroundings. Loved the hospitality and the food. Recommended to everyone. Would definitely come back and stay for long.
Besides the more popular attractions in Rishikesh, there are plenty of things you can do at Aashraya -
Relaxation, gardening, helping at the farm (we encourage participation at the farm), meditation and yoga at the beach, hydrotherapy at the beautiful waterfall (located just 800 m from our place), hiking on the ancient Badrinath walking route or just taking a leisurely walk through the nearby villages and to the temple.
We also arrange for day workshops at Aashraya to educate people on upcycling, sustainable farming, sustainable living, zero waste living, etc. We would be happy to share, learn, and expand our knowledge with you.
