Skyard Hostel Rishikesh Laxman Jhula

Cafeteria

Location but difficult to find in Google maps

Having done many hostels around India and world as budget traveller it was as usual a relief to find a budget hostel in the center of a popular tourist place. With Rishikesh the spiritual aspect takes over with Skyard playing its part in providing budget traveller's a comfortable stay and a great roof top cafe with grand view of River Ganga as it flows done from Devprayag through Lakshman Jhulla towards Ram Jhulla, Muni ki Reti and further down to Haridwar. The dorms are named after Adventure activities like paragliding etc. The dorm I stayed had 4 bunk beds with clean washroom. The cafe is on the roof top. The hostel is about 1km from Lakshman Jhulla which is close to Shri Thriyambakeshwar Mahadev temple. The road leading to the hostel is bit narrow so theres no connectivity with regards to taxi or autos or bike taxis. I chanced to get a bike taxi who helped me get close to the hostel as he managed to cross the newly constructed Ram Jhulla bridge. The best part is both Ram and Lakshman Jhulla are newly constructed with Skywalk experience and glass floor for pedestrians to enjoy a good visit and viewing of the river Ganga and night lit Rishikesh. There are lot of eateries around along with cafes and few money exchange outlets. Share autos towards Rishikesh center are available about 1km from the hostel if one crosses the Lakshman Jhulla bridge

I found the linens to be dirty.

Rooftop cafe is good

Only cafe is good.Rest things are disppointing rooms not clean, taps in bathroom broken, no water is coming .You have to go to reception just to get water in bathroom muktiple times

Great Experience!

Views are awesome
