Review: Omkarananda Ganga Sadan – Guest House in Rishikesh

Omkarananda Ganga Sadan – Guest House in Rishikesh since 1985 is sparkling clean & beautiful, right on the banks of the picturesque holy river Ganga with a view of the Himalayas especially from the 2nd-floor balcony is amazing.

This serene setting provides the perfect lodging for yoga students or tourists visiting Rishikesh.

The guesthouse – an ashram, and a yoga studio is the best location in Rishikesh within walking distance from the Ram Jhula suspension bridge.

Check-in time: 00:00

The market and transport facilities including taxis, sharing autos, and two-wheeler hire are very close within walking distance.
The rooms are extremely clean, spacious, and with basic facilities. In winter season quilt will be provided.
They have a generator facility too in case there is a power breakdown.

A small garden is there where you can sit and do Yoga & Pranayama. It is a Divine experience.

Hygienic and delicious food (breakfast, lunch & dinner) is available at Annakshetra. You have to order in advance.

They have 23 rooms (single/double/triple bed – with/without toilet) reasonably priced starting from Rs. 800 till Rs. 3000 (air-conditioned).

The bathroom had a shower, and a geyser for hot water, and the toilet (with jet spray) is Western-style with handwash liquid soap available.

Wifi, Charging Points, and a water purifier are available.

You can request room cleaning every day.

Note: The staff is receptive but strict. They close the gates at 10 pm, thus you can’t roam around Rishikesh.

I have been visiting Omkarananda Ganga Sadan – Guest House in Rishikesh for the past 10 years. This time I stayed with my mother. Definitely will choose Omkarananda Ganga Sadan again to stay if get a chance to visit Rishikesh again.

Every morning I could admire the Sunrise over the hills and see the Ganga and its rushing sound. Loved it.

If you wish to learn authentic Iyengar Yoga, you may join Yoga classes too conducted by Usha Devi. It is an ashram to practice the Iyengar style of yoga in Rishikesh. Highly recommended guest house.

You may contact Shailendra or Vinod at the reception for more details.
