Modern, vibrant and friendly, this canary-yellow backpacker is rightfully one of Rishikesh's most popular budget choices. It has a spectacular location built overlooking the Ganges, which you can enjoy from its blissful garden hang-out and swimming pool or its upstairs Hoggers Cafe, both good places to meet travellers. Private rooms and dorms are spotless and excellent value.
It's a good place to book tours and treks too. There are yoga classes at 5pm (by donation).
