Host your next Yoga & Meditation retreat with us
Ganga Kinare – A Riverside Boutique Resort
Located on the Banks of River Ganges, Ganga Kinare has been intimately connected with Yoga since its establishment. Both the International Yoga Festival and Ganga Kinare were inaugurated in 1989. Selected by the State tourism board as the venue for this prestigious event, Ganga Kinare hosted the festival for ten consecutive years until 1998, welcoming national and international celebrities and delegates to Rishikesh.
Among our esteemed guests was the legendary Shri BKS Iyengar, who found solace and inspiration here, and whose legacy continues to infuse our space with empowering vibrations. In 2015, Ganga Kinare once again hosted the International Yoga Week, attracting global spiritual and yoga leaders such as Jivasuji, Dr. Kathy Kangarloo, Acharya Sasidhar, Mykal Aubry, Yogi Amrit Raj, and Swami Sudhir Anand, among others.
Ganga Kinare continues to play home to spiritual and yoga retreats that come to Rishikesh from across the world.
VILEEN Rishikesh – A Luxury Wellness Resort
Located in Singtali, approximately 30 km from Rishikesh, VILEEN Rishikesh is perched 170 metres above the River Ganga on a Shivalik mountain ledge, offering a secluded and serene environment for spiritual practices. VILEEN is designed to facilitate deep spiritual work with both indoor and outdoor spaces. A dedicated yoga hall is where daily yoga, meditation and sound healing therapy sessions are conducted. Ganga-facing practices such as sundowner guided meditation are held overlooking the river, using the natural Himalayan air and the sound of the Ganga to deepen mindfulness.
SAMAGRA Spa offers curated multi-day residential wellness programmes tailored for retreat participants. The retreat experience is augmented by a daily private evening Ganga Aarti and guided spiritual talks on the Gita and Vedanta philosophy, along with wellness food tailored according to Ayurvedic principles.
ONENESS Rishikesh – A Luxury Wilderness Resort
ONENESS Rishikesh by Ganga Kinare is a secluded luxury wilderness resort situated 30 km beyond Rishikesh, designed specifically for deep reconnection through nature-led wellness. Accessible exclusively via a guided 300-meter hike and a private river raft crossing, the retreat offers an immediate sense of detachment from the outer world. Guests can participate in sunrise yoga sessions on private white-sand beaches, manicured gardens or at the Machaan tree-top deck.
Complementing these spiritual practices are mindfulness experiences such as guided sound healing with Tibetan bowls, riverside Ganga Aarti, and mindful nature walks through the surrounding Sal forests.
