Himalayan Ganga Retreat is a riverside camp in Rattapani, on the Neelkanth road outside Rishikesh – about 8 km from Laxman Jhula. We have spacious AC cottages on the riverbank, a natural pool, MAPAI meals (breakfast and dinner included), river rafting, yoga, and an evening bonfire. Pet-friendly. Pickup from Rishikesh on request. From ₹6,000 per night for two.
This is one of the better-located river side camps in Rishikesh – far enough from the rafting-strip noise of Tapovan to actually feel quiet, close enough to Laxman Jhula and Triveni Ghat to do the Ganga aarti and walk back the same evening.
Two air-conditioned cottage styles. The Deluxe Cottage suits couples and small families. The Maharaja Cottage holds up to six and is the room most groups book.
Most of what brings people to Rishikesh — rafting, the aarti, the ashrams, the bungee — sits within a 20-minute drive of camp. The evening Ganga aarti and guided nature walks come included with the stay.

Every frame of Himalayan Ganga Retreat
Most "riverside camping in Rishikesh" listings put you in a flimsy tent on a noisy floodplain, fifteen minutes from a parking lot. We don't. Himalayan Ganga Retreat is two AC cottages on a private stretch of the Ganga at Rattapani, on the Neelkanth road, with the riverbank a 30-second walk from the door.
What makes a good river side camp in Rishikesh is location, not whether the bed sits inside a tent or a cottage. Ours is upstream of the busy Tapovan / Laxman Jhula stretch, set back from NH-7, surrounded by sal forest and the slope down to the river. From the camp you can hear the Ganga – actually hear it.
Two cottage types, both fully air-conditioned, both with MAPAI plan included (breakfast + dinner + AM/PM chai). Rates below are per night, per room.
Among river rafting camps in Rishikesh, the advantage of staying at Rattapani is that the rafting put-in points are upstream and you'll be at the start of the run within 15-20 minutes. We pre-book the standard sections:
