About the property:

Perched on a hillside above the jade-green Ganges and cradled by the Shivalik Hills, Atali Ganga is a boutique retreat where adventure, wellness, and nature exist in perfect harmony. Just 30 km from Rishikesh- the Yoga Capital - this sanctuary offers sweeping valley views and a rare chance to live in the calm embrace of India’s holiest river. Atali features 22 independent cottages, each with private verandahs, central stone walls, and expansive glass façades that frame Himalayan forests and valleys. Responsibly perched on the hillside, they balance intimacy with spectacular views. The property also houses The Foresterie Villas – Alaknanda and Bhagirathi. Each four-bedroom villa features a free-flowing living and dining area overlooking the river and forest, three ensuite bedrooms (including a master and flexible twins), and a cozy single perfect for children. An airy study doubles as a workspace or extra room, while a fully equipped kitchen supports in-villa dining, complemented by freshly prepared meals on request. Modern conveniences like Wi-Fi, televisions, and ample storage ensure comfort, while outdoors, guests share the Bugyal - a grassy riverside lounge with sunbeds, parasols, and an outdoor jacuzzi, ideal for long brunches or basking in the Himalayan sun.

For thrill-seekers, Atali offers 24 km of Grade III rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, wall climbing, abseiling, and jumaring. Expert-led high and low ropes courses add to the challenge and fun. For gentler pursuits, guided hikes through pine forests reveal the Himalayas’ quieter beauty. Balance adventure with calm through yoga by the river, meditation on white-sand beaches, or spa treatments at Aum. Guests can also try forest bathing, tree-hugging, or join the intimate Saturday Ganga Aarti- an unforgettable riverside ritual.

Beyond the property, the evening Aarti at Triveni Ghat enchants with chants, incense, and flickering diyas, while wildlife enthusiasts can explore Rajaji National Park, home to elephants, tigers, and over 400 bird species. After a day outdoors, gather at The White Water Café, an indoor-outdoor dining space serving hearty buffets. Sundowners with Ganga views and a menu blending Indian and international flavors make every meal memorable.

Atali Ganga is more than a stay- it’s an experience of discovery. Whether rafting white waters, meditating in pine forests, or stargazing from your verandah, every moment here invites you to slow down and reconnect- with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
