Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa Uttarakhand

This is by far the MOST AMAZING place we’ve ever been to!! Absolutely stunning location and resort. But more than anything the staff and the service they provide make this place unbeatable. Having stayed at some of the finest resorts around the world this place still beats them all. A very special thank you to Chandan who looked after us from start to finish, from every meal to every small request, to ensuring the dishes we wanted are made and serving us with such care and love. He is by far one of the best members of staff and an asset to this resort.. it would not be what it is without him. Also a big thank you to Chef Ganesh for the most incredible food and dishes ensuring they are healthy yet tasty. Thank you to Gulabsa for making our coffee the way we have it served in London despite being all the way out in Rishikesh! Thank you to Neema from housekeeping who looked after our room and provided unique touches daily. Thank you to Devika at the Spa who was so kind and caring and made us feel very relaxed. We will be returning very soon and wouldn’t stay anywhere else!! We’ll be requesting for Chandan to take care of us as it wouldn’t be the same without him!

Stayed here for three nights with a group tour. The hotel is absolutely lovely, set above the banks of the holy River Ganges. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable with great linens, and amenities, with a beautiful array of complimentary teas. Unfortunately, drinking water is provided in small plastic bottles, which is not in keeping with the brand’s sustainability commitment. If they are able to provide Kohler bath fixtures, it would seem that they could utilize sophisticated Elkay or other technologies. Similarly, toiletries are provided in tiny plastic containers, rather than in large refillable ones. All rooms face the river and have Himalayan foothill views beyond. Rooms are located in the main building as well as other smaller buildings that cascade down towards the river. The pool and spa are located “over” the river. The hotel provides daily free yoga classes, sound healing, high tea and evening Ganga arti ceremony on the banks of the river. Restaurant food was very good, and we ate primarily at the Rock Flour, which offers an ample breakfast buffet. In addition to Indian food, it also offers Western food (as one expects of the Taj brand). I had a relaxing massage upon arrival, as well as a foot massage and a head massage on my second day. Services were good, but uneven - depends upon the therapist. The spa has a sauna and steam but could use some updating of decor. Staff were lovely, but appear to have had difficulty keeping up with the demands of our group. The fitness room was spacious and clean; I would like to recommend that they offer some lighter hand weights to accommodate female guests.

absolutely enjoyed the food, service , stay and overall hospitality ! hotel views and stunning & unmatchable !! totally recommend must go! u will actually feel relaxed . the breakfast and food was amazing!! staff were very warm and welcoming ! must do hotel in India ! it actually is the most relaxing place! massage spa was also excellent and their daily yoga and meditation activities!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and had a lovely stay, particularly appreciating the delightful pubble beach pizza. The exceptional staff member, Akshay, crafted a remarkable drink with fresh leaves, making it an outstanding experience!

Amazing experience!! Set on the banks of the river Ganga, the vista is panoramic and beautiful. The ambience and the setting is tranquil and we are already looking at dates for our next break here. Being away from the hub of main Rishikesh is a USP for sure. Highlights for me: 1. Personalised Ganga Aarti done at the resort. It’s an interactive experience and way better than the one in Rishikesh where you just glimpse the Ganga. 2. The morning yoga session - Shivani is fantastic and caters to every level including beginners. 3. The sound healing session - Again by Shivani. Was fantastic. Had the most restorative sleep. 4. Pahadi hi tea - Simple yet delicious with local dance group and art work on display. 5. Meditation session. The above are complimentary!! 6. Riverside cafe - local cuisine. Never have I ever had a better chicken curry and the daal is to die for. Special mention- Jayprakash & Akshay - wonderful hosts who made good recommendations on the ordering and the food. They even gave us a taste of what we had not ordered. Hence we ended up every night at the cafe for dinner. Definitely recommend. I am a huge Taj fan as I always find the ethos good & the staff from the welcome party of the priest and Aarti until you depart where again you are given a souvenir and Aarti were extraordinary. They were genuinely interested in us having a good time and the suggestions given were well worth it

Had a fabulous time at Taj Rishikesh. The hospitality of the staff was excellent. The location, property, Food was fabulous.Tried a few interesting activities. One of them was star Gazing by Aryan. It was informative and interesting. Dev Prayag trip with Azad was a great experience.Would definitely recommend both activities. Special mention about Neelam, Pankaj and Vijayendra.Thank you to entire staff for making it so memorable for us.
