Ganga Kinare translates to On the banks of the river Ganges. It is no misnomer.
Nestled snugly on the banks of a tranquil River Ganges, Hotel Ganga Kinare is a charming retreat in the sanctum of Rishikesh, a land where spirituality and Mother Nature blend into a heady concoction. The only resort in Rishikesh built right on the banks of the Ganges, Ganga Kinare overlooks the Rajaji National Park, one of North India's expansive sanctuaries and a melting pot of diverse flora and fauna. The resort boasts a waterside esplanade, where guests can stroll alongside the sinuous river, soak in the sight of the mountains and revel in the sheer verdancy of the surroundings.

A quintessence of Rishikesh, the resort can provide an enticing array of experiences designed to suit any palette - whether it's an unwinding weekend escapade from the humdrum of city life, or an elaborate menu of adventure, piety and spirituality to appease the body, mind and soul.

Built in 1989 in the city of Rishikesh, often touted as 'the world capital of Yoga', the resort has played host to the coveted International Yoga Week nine times in recent years, and continues to be a pivotal space for Yogic gurus to impart their teachings.
Dining
The culinary experience at Hotel Ganga Kinare satiates more than just the sense of taste. If a snug and sunlit riverside cafe wot it do it for you, then a multi-ethnic dining lounge, with a menu as diverse as Indian culture itself, surely would.

Lined with floor to ceiling river view windows, the riveting panorama of water, verdure and mountain spills into the cafe and bursts into the lounge. Whether it's a steaming mug of coffee with your favourite book, or a delicious full-course meal with family and friends, the resort offers distinctive dining experiences.

Rangoli Cafe - A riverside coffeeshop:
The resort's riverside coffeehouse overlooks the Rajaji National Park, with a view of the Manikut Parvat akin to the outline of an elephant. With the sunlight bouncing off the rippling river and streaming in through the wall-to-wall windows, the cafe makes for a delightful retreat. Rangoli is touted as one of Rishikesh's popular restaurants on the world's largest travel site, TripAdvisor.

Dhruv - A multi-cuisine dining lounge:
Juxtaposed with Rangoli Cafe, the resort's multi-cuisine restaurant Dhruv delivers a wholesome dining experience. With a choice of buffet meals and a-la-carte dishes, the kitchen serves authentic delicacies from diverse cultures spanning Mughlai, Chinese, Continental, South Indian, and of course, traditional local cuisine. This assortment enables the restaurant to cater to local and international guests alike. Tempting scents from the open kitchen promise to whet anyone's appetite. At any time of day, the dining hall tinkles with the sound of eager cutlery and satisfied lip smacks!

Machan - An open-air river view terrace:
If one wants to feel the gentle breeze blowing from the river while savouring preparations from the restaurant's kitchen, the resort's mid-level terrace is the ideal spot. Guests can enjoy their meals while revelling in the natural lush surroundings during the day or the star-lit open skies at night. Both experiences promise to elicit wonderment.

Head Chef - The resort's kitchen has been led by Head Chef Vishal Mani for the last 20 years. His steadfast loyalty has ensured years of continuous quality and innovation. With expertise in Indian and continental cuisine, Vishal Mani's culinary skills have been lauded by celebrities including Mr. LK Advani (erstwhile deputy prime minister of India), Mr. BK Ieyngar (world renowned yoga teacher), and Ms. Hema Malini (film actress).

Corporate Facilities

The resort is an ideal platform for programs designed to suit any palette - whether they are simplistic conferences over a weekend, or multi-faceted training modules developed for holistic growth. We can also enhance an overall experience through personality and team-building activities including safaris, white water rafting, camping, trekking, nature walks, yoga and meditation.

The resort has a modernistic conference hall that can seat up to 200 delegates and is equipped with the requisite state-of-the-art facilities including projectors, microphones and speakers.

We have played host to various corporate outbounds and conferences, and receive strong patronage from several companies.
