Property Overview 

Nestled on the serene banks of the Ganges amid the verdant foothills of the Himalayas, Yog Niketan by Sanskriti is a sanctuary of holistic wellness and sustainable living in Rishikesh. Here, ancient Indian healing traditions meet gently modern comforts to offer a truly transformative retreat experience. At Yog Niketan you will find immersive Ayurveda therapies, daily yoga and meditation sessions, organic farm‑to‑table cuisine, and eco‑sensitive infrastructure that blends into the natural surroundings.

The retreat comprises a cluster of premium Ganga‑view rooms, deluxe garden view rooms, and dedicated spa suites, each designed using eco‑friendly materials and natural ventilation to reduce energy use. Guests may relax in the yoga hall, herbal tea lounge, or shaded river‑view terraces. Ayurveda consultation rooms, herb garden, and open-air meditation pavilions anchor the wellness offerings. The property also supports sustainable practices: rainwater harvesting, solar power panels, organic waste composting, and local sourcing of ingredients.

Staying at Yog Niketan is a holistic journey — mornings begin with pranayama by the river, yoga asanas following the Vedic tradition, midday herbal meals, afternoon Ayurvedic therapies, and quiet evening meditation or kirtan. The design balances light-filled spaces, natural materials, and views of the Ganga and surrounding forests. Soft ambient pathways wind through gardens and water features, creating a flow between nature and retreat spaces. The experience aims not just to relax you physically, but to realign mind, body and soul in resonance with the natural rhythms around you.

Stay Experience & Unique Design

The architecture is minimalistic yet soulful — stone, wood, natural textures, open courtyards, flowing indoor-outdoor transitions that let nature in. The gentle sound of water, rustling leaves, and distant Ganga flow suffuses the ambience. This is not just a stay, but a conscious lifestyle pause.
