Rishis International is situated in a tropical jungle, at the banks of the Ganges river in a small hidden village, unknown to tourists. A pure and sacred place, only 15 km away from the famous city of Rishikesh, known as the 'Yoga Capital' of India. An enchanting city at the footsteps of the Himalayas, at the bank of the famous river Ganges. City of Ashrams, temples, yoga schools and spiritual gatherings, having it's own charm. 

 

It is also ideally situated for visits to the nearby 'Raja National Park', where guests can have guided tours to see the majestic wild life of India.

Waking up to the sound of waterfalls and singing birds, it is the perfect location to move away from the city life. Enjoy the silence of the hidden village in the tropical jungle, while still having the opportunity to explore the lively yoga city of Rishikesh with all it's rituals and Indian markets full of colors and beats.
