About the property:

Brush aside that backlog of everyday toil and head to the hills. Raga on the Ganges awaits you in the picturesque village of Singthali near Rishikesh. Are you a nature lover, a birdwatcher or a yoga enthusiast? If yes to either of these then Raga on the Ganges is your haven. Whether you are travelling alone or with a bunch of friends, Raga keeps you in perfect company with the rhythmic sounds of the river Ganga and offers breathtaking views of the mountains and the holy river. The retreat is constructed in a terrace form to ensure you get a clear and distinct view from every deck. Apart from the hush silence of the valley, the gushing of the Ganges is the only sound you will hear making this an experience one-of-its-kind. Participate in a plethora of activities throughout the day like a short trek to a secluded beach close to the property or camping and kayaking by the Ganges. Sip a cocktail by the main pool which is 4 ft and is weather-controlled ensuring that the guests get a chance to unwind even during frigid winters overlooking the sweeping views of the surrounding hills. They also have a baby pool which is 1.5 feet and is temperature-controlled as well. Breathe in the sublime mountain air or simply opt for a soothing and therapeutic spa session at the in-house spa - Vedic Root and has a steam and sauna room.

The property offers seven categories of rooms – Deluxe Room, Mountain View Room, Cottage, Ganga Cottage, Ganga Vista Cottage, Ganga Suite, and Ganga Vista Suite. The rooms are done tastefully and spacious over looking the mountains or the river. You can feel the calmness of the holy Ganges, the Shivalik Ranges and Silver Sands right from your room. So, the moment you wake up in the morning, you have the emerald green-blue waters of the Ganges to greet you and as the day progresses, you can walk down to the river and sit by it for a while. The culinary experience is just like revelry at Raga. Relish on scrumptious dishes cooked by our chef at the in-house restaurant, Burans. Named after the famous rhododendron flower, the idea behind Burans was to give you a taste of the local flavours.
