Property Overview 

Nestled deep within the forested foothills of the Lower Shivalik range along the sacred Ganges, Oneness – A Wellness Resort by Ganga Kinare offers a truly immersive holistic escape just 30 km beyond central Rishikesh. This boutique wilderness resort is accessible only via a short riverside hike followed by a private raft crossing, creating an experience of seclusion and disconnection from the ordinary. The property’s architecture embraces sustainable principles: signature structures are crafted primarily from bamboo and locally sourced materials, with minimal environmental intrusion. Every cottage is thoughtfully spaced apart to preserve privacy, and each offers generous indoor–outdoor living space with views of the river, forest valley, or private white‑sand beaches.

At Oneness, your stay is designed as a journey of balance and well‑being. Daily yoga, meditation, pranayama, Ayurvedic and fusion spa treatments, nature walks, birdwatching, forest talks, and stargazing are woven into your schedule. The resort maintains an uncompromising eco‑ethos — no single-use plastics, upcycled toiletries, organic kitchen gardens, composting, and a staff drawn largely from local villages. Private beaches, lookout decks, a bamboo yoga hall, and contemplative zones deepen your connection to nature.

Whether you seek spiritual renewal, holistic detox, or a quiet break from modern stress, Oneness offers a sanctuary where every breath, every step, and every ritual echoes harmony with nature and self.

Accommodation Types & Room / Cottage Categories

At Oneness, all accommodations are standalone luxury cottages thoughtfully positioned along the hillside and riverfront to maximize privacy, views, and tranquility. The cottages typically range from 900 to 1,800 sq ft of personal space, with high ceilings, generous verandas, and large plinths to allow natural ventilation and forest‑immersed ambience. While exact categories (e.g. deluxe, premium, suite) are customizable by the resort, each unit is imaginatively themed around wellness and mindfulness. Interiors use natural fabrics, earthy tones, and minimal furnishings to maintain a sense of calm. Bathrooms often feature spacious showers, organic amenities, and nature views. Some cottages face the river, others overlook forest canopies or private white‑sand beaches.

The design ensures that no two cottages feel alike; each has a unique orientation and panorama, making every stay subtly distinct, and every walk from your doorstep an encounter with nature.

Unique Design & Eco‑Concept

Oneness embodies sustainable luxury at its core. From the beginning, every structural decision was anchored in ecological sensitivity — bamboo as the primary building material, low-impact foundations, and a design aesthetic that flows like the river itself. The resort’s key buildings, including the reception, yoga hall, and communal spaces, are crafted from bamboo and natural materials to harmonize with the landscape.

Beyond architecture, the eco‑philosophy permeates operations: no single‑use plastics, composting kitchen and garden waste, upcycled toiletry packaging, and staff drawn largely from neighboring villages to foster socioeconomic sustainability. Over 30,000 saplings across 50 species have been planted, and the resort actively maintains bird nests and fosters biodiversity across forest edges and riverine zones. This is not just a resort — it’s a living ecosystem where guests breathe, heal, and evolve in concert with nature’s rhythms.

Locational Advantages & Connectivity

• Distance & Access
  Oneness sits about 30 km from Rishikesh town and approximately 1.5 hours by road from Dehradun Airport.
• Exclusive Setting
  Located in the hamlet of Byasi along the Rishikesh–Badrinath highway, Oneness is uniquely placed across the Ganges — facing north, catching spectacular sunrises, and offering an unobstructed “other-side-of-the-river” experience
• Nearby Attractions
  The confluence at Dev Prayag (where Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meet to form Ganga) lies upstream and is within reach for a day visit.
• The sacred Ganges stretch between Dev Prayag and Rishikesh is considered pristine, making Oneness an ideal base for river‑based spiritual or nature explorations.
• Arrival Logistics
  Guests are usually picked up at Byasi, then escorted along a 300 m hiking trail, followed by a 2-minute raft crossing and a short trek to the property.
  Note: due to the terrain, guests should reach before dusk; check-in typically closes by around 6:30 pm in summer and ~5:30 pm in winter.

This combination of remoteness plus relative proximity to Rishikesh and the Ganges corridor gives Oneness a rare mix of accessibility and seclusion.
