You will be accommodated in Rishikesh Valley Resort. To let you bond with nature like the ancient sadhoos, they offer you hermit-styled cottages. Each cottage is designed to be elegant yet simple, and Rishikesh Valley Resort is also constructed with jungle grass, wood, mud, clay, and other natural elements to offer a complete natural feel. The huts are situated at measured distances for privacy and interspersed with sprinklings of Himalayan foliage to lend them the charm of living in the wild. With the close proximity of the small river stream, one can even hear the gentle murmurings of its water as one dozes off to sleep.
