Anand Kashi by the Ganges Rishikesh - Ihcl Seleqtions

The luxury tent was a complete disaster. We were moved from one tent to the other because there was air coming in through the slits in the door at 40 F. This was at 11pm. The second tent that we were moved to smelled of sewage. This is their most expensive room and it is just plain terrible. Absolutely horrible experience.

Our stay at Anandkashi by the Ganges was an unforgettable experience of stillness, luxury, and soulful hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we felt deeply cared for — so much so that we didn’t even feel like checking our screens. The energy of the Ganga, the stillness in the air, and the incredible team around us created the perfect sanctuary. Every morning, I found myself meditating by the Ganga, and every evening we were moved by the beautiful in-house Ganga Aarti. The yoga sessions were deeply grounding, both physically and spiritually. 🥗 F&B team — heartfelt thanks to Executive Chef Jitendra Upadhyay for curating such a nourishing and soul-satisfying menu. Every dish reflected purity, flavor, and love. And a special thank you to Rajni, Subodh, Pinki, Pankaj 1, Pankaj 2, and Sourabh for making every meal a warm experience — you all made dining feel like a beautiful ritual. 🧼 Housekeeping — a big shoutout to Ravinder for the smallest, most thoughtful touches. Coming back to a room with warm foot soaks waiting for us was an unforgettable act of care. 💆 Spa — Manisha, your gentle hands and flexible approach made relaxation flow through the entire property. Whether it was a head massage by the Ganga or a foot rub in our room, it felt like wellness was always within reach. 🛎️ Front Office — thank you Shubham and Yedupati for ensuring everything ran smoothly and with warmth. Your quiet efficiency and smiling presence made our stay seamless. Anandkashi is not just a resort. It’s a spiritual pause, a luxury escape, and a home for the soul. We left lighter, calmer, and deeply grateful. Can’t wait to return.

The best part of this property was the location!! Little out of the main city but ensconced in the lap of nature. Its like the nature grows on you. The divinity of ganga is hard to escape . The eternal sound of flowing Ganga is nothing sort of lullaby. The food was delectable and the staff were super courteous and helpful.a temple in the compound and evening Ganga aarti are also high points of this place.

This is a beautiful tranquil Property , immersed in lush green flora, mango trees laden in fruit , the Ganges gushing by , absolutely mesmerizing. What makes it even more special is the personnel having attention to minute detail , silent ever present but not invasive . Excellent cuisine . Can just go on and on . Lovely place , recommend going with family , elders . Good care provided . Excellent job !!!!! Shoutout to the whole team at Anand Kashi .

Special thanks to the GM and to Mr Singh to improve this fantastic place and bring to Taj high Standard Congratulations to chef Uphadiya for his works since he came and results are very good All the staff from house keeping to in room dining are extremely professional and shown and straordinary courtesy that make you feel at home That is the secrecy and unique Tajness

This location is very unique as it is away from the crowded areas and is right on the banks of the Ganges. The decks located near the river for Yoga and relaxation, heated pool are very good. The river is accessible from the property and the evening Ganga aarti at the river bank was just what we were looking for. Nearby trek from Malakunthi bridge was an amazing experience with a natural beach. The hotel staff including Mr. Shantanu the GM and his senior colleagues went out of their way to make arrangements for us for trip to Haridwar....something that you can expect only from Taj. Simply superb!
