Shiv Shakti Yogpeeth Cottages

This is such a special place! It’s located 2 km up the hill from town in a quiet little oasis. The staff is absolutely wonderful! I stayed for four nights before beginning a retreat and was greeted each day with so many smiles and so much kindness. The cooks in the cafe are really good (and nice too!) and the other guests who tend to find themselves here made it special too. I came in February, so we had some cold and rainy days and nights. It is normal in Rishikesh for there to be no heat, so that did take some getting used to. They did give me a small heater that helped a lot in my room at night. However, my discomfort wasn’t about anything staff did or didn’t do; it was just a matter of me getting used to the way things are in this part of the world. There are some great spa services and opportunities for yoga that guests can enjoy too. I spent my time meditating, reading, and just enjoying life off-line in a beautiful spot! Highly recommended!

I had a great stay at Shiv Shakti Yogpeeth. It is really nicely located up the hill from Tapovan. Surrounded by green, birds sing, the sounfs of river and waterfall rest and joy come by itself. It is also a very nice spot, if you like hiking. The other day I did the Kunjapuri temple trail and it was strenuous but beautiful. The hosts as well as the people I met were all nice. The food is fresh and tasty and facilities are clean. Enjoy :)

Waiting for the food and cold water sometimes.

Location is great for people looking for a peaceful stay. It's away from the commercial areas and in the middle of nowhere.

Staff is pretty accomodative. Stay was very comfortable. Ram ji makes the stay comfortable by going extra mile.

The environment around the stay was very amazing, it is very close to a lot of waterfalls. The cafe on the stage is very nice and the food is very good. The staff and the owner are also very nice and helpful. I will recommend everyone to stay there for at least a few days if you are going to Rishikesh.

The location is a little far from the main road.

Ram ji, Rakesh ji, Shoban ji, Tanisha ji, and all the kitchen staff are such gems!! Unique - with all the comforts of a hotel stay and all the warmth of a homestay!!

Very familiar and cosy place with great people and amazing food. I loved that it’s outside of busy Rishikesh secluded in the jungle.
