Riverside Beach Camping in Rishikesh

About This Activity

Escape to the serene banks of the holy Ganges with an unforgettable riverside camping experience in Rishikesh's most scenic locations — Shivpuri and Byasi. Wake up to the gentle sound of the river flowing past your tent, with the majestic Himalayan foothills as your backdrop.

Our riverside beach camps are nestled along the pristine white-sand beaches of the Ganga, just 12 km from Tapovan and easily accessible via Neelkanth Road. Choose between Alpine tents for a raw, nature-immersive experience or luxury Swiss tents with attached washrooms, air-coolers, and modern comforts.

As the sun sets over the mountains, gather around a crackling bonfire under a canopy of stars. Enjoy live music, stories, and freshly prepared multi-cuisine meals. Morning yoga sessions by the riverside and meditation spots along the Ganga banks provide the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

Rishikesh camping is ideal for friend groups, corporate retreats, family getaways, and romantic couple escapes. Optional add-ons include white-water rafting from Shivpuri (16 km stretch), cliff jumping, body surfing, nature treks to nearby waterfalls, and beach volleyball tournaments.

The camps operate year-round (except peak monsoon July-August) with the best weather from October to March. Summer months offer refreshing river dips, while winter camping provides magical misty mornings and warmer bonfire gatherings.
