Indian Himalayas, India

This luxurious Himalayan retreat, sitting on the banks of the River Ganges in the foothills of the Himalayas, is fast becoming a favourite of ours. The views of the Ganges are breath-taking and the hotel spreads right down to the water’s edge. The architecture is contemporary and has been designed to blend sympathetically into its natural surroundings, which has been beautifully achieved. We would highly recommend this hotel for a few days of R&R at the end of an itinerary. The hotel even performs its own Ganga Aarti ceremony, a magical experience to witness.
