Aloha on the Ganges Rishikesh Luxury Hotel by Ganga

When you think of Rishikesh, the mind instantly drifts to the sound of temple bells, the scent of burning incense, and the emerald-green flow of the Ganges. But for the modern traveler, the challenge has always been finding a place that balances this spiritual raw energy with world-class luxury.

Enter Aloha on the Ganges.

Nestled in the serene Tapovan area, this isn’t just a hotel; it’s a sanctuary. Whether you are a soul-seeker looking for a quiet corner to meditate or an adventure junkie planning your next white-water rafting trip, Aloha serves as the perfect base camp. At Aloha by Blissful Ganges, we often recommend this property to those who want more than just a room—they want a “Ganga-side experience.”

The Setting: Where the Mountains Meet the Water

Location is everything in Rishikesh, and Aloha on the Ganges nails it. Situated on the banks of the river, just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Lakshman Jhula, the property offers a vantage point that is hard to beat.

Unlike the crowded center of the town, Aloha is tucked away in a spot where the valley opens up. In the morning, you’ll see the mist rising from the river, and in the evening, the cool mountain breeze—the “Ganga Hawa”—carries the echoes of the evening Aarti right to your balcony.

Accommodation: A Home Away From Home

One of the most unique aspects of Aloha is its layout. It’s a mix of luxury hotel rooms and spacious Aloha apartments. This makes it a top choice for families and long-stay travelers.

• Superior & Deluxe Royal Rooms: Perfect for couples, these rooms feature contemporary interiors with a touch of Himalayan aesthetics.
• One-Bedroom Apartments: These come with a separate living area, making them ideal for those who need a bit of space to work or relax.
• Two-Bedroom Premium Apartments: If you’re traveling with family or a group of friends, these units offer a “home-style” vibe with a kitchenette and expansive balconies overlooking the river or the manicured gardens.

Amenities

What sets this luxury hotel by Ganga apart is the sheer range of facilities designed to rejuvenate the body and mind.

1. The Infinity Pool

This is the “crown jewel” of the property. The infinity pool at Aloha seems to merge directly into the Ganges. Swimming here as the sun sets behind the Shivalik hills is an experience that stays with you forever. It is, without a doubt, the most photographed spot in the resort.

2. Prana Spa

After a day of trekking or rafting, the Prana Spa offers a range of Ayurvedic and international treatments. Using essential oils and traditional techniques, the therapists here help you “unplug” from the digital world.

3. Yoga & Meditation

Rishikesh is the Yoga Capital of the World, and Aloha stays true to that heritage. There are dedicated yoga halls and outdoor decks where certified instructors lead daily morning sessions. Practicing your Surya Namaskar while hearing the river rapids below is truly transformative.

4. Fitness & Gaming

For those who don’t want to skip “leg day,” there is a well-equipped gym. For families, the indoor game room—featuring table tennis, pool, and board games—is a lifesaver on rainy afternoons.

Highlights

Beyond the physical structures, it’s the curated experiences that make Aloha special.

• In-House Ganga Aarti: You don’t always have to head to the crowded Triveni Ghat. The hotel organizes a private, soul-stirring Aarti at its own river-view deck, complete with lamps and Vedic chants.
