About Anand Kashi
✅ Anand Kashi by the Ganges, Rishikesh IHCL SeleQtions is a Sonnet to a Sacred Shloka. It’s a mystical and magical jewel, an amalgamation of the historic old world charm,infused in history and a contemporary refurbished aesthetic experience.

Anand Kashi was the summer residence of the erstwhile Maharaja of Tehri Garhwal.Nestledin the lush valley of the Shivaik range of Himalayas close to the town of Rishikesh, known as Devbhoomi the 'place of the sages'.

Welcome at the hotel with tikka and flute playing.
✅ We were warmly welcomed by the staff with the traditional saffron tikka and the lilting sound of the musician playing on the flute . The ginger honey tea was refreshing indeed.

Reception
✅ The Yuletide ardour at the reception enveloped and kindled in us a feeling of warm ebullience and jollity.
It was like stepping back in time to the traditional Garhwali architecture adorned by contemporary embellishments in its decor.

About Som Rasa and its panoramic view of the Ganges
✅ The property rightfully claims that it’s accommodation is conceptualised in the Vedic Panchamahabhuta philosophy – touch (Sparsh), taste (Kesari), sight (Dhrishti), sound (Ujala) and scent (Mehek).

It truly soaks your senses and transports you to an ethereal world. Opulent and luxurious room, Som Rasa perhaps is the best with 180* panoramic view of the Sacred Ganga.
You could merge dawn to dusk, contemplating about the coruscating gold dust, spangled upon the Ganga’s ebb and flow.

Tea and the deck area
✅ Listen to the plaintive or paradisiacal dulcet lilting flute in the backdrop. Sip on some ginger or masal tea and gorge on some pakodas or sandwiches for laid back Hi Tea on the wooden deck area.
If you wish you could also gaze from the various gazebos at the Gurgling of the glorious gushing Ganges multifarious moods.

Ganga Arti
✅ The divine symphony of the Ganga Aarti performed by the resident priest is a pious, solemn and spiritual sojourn.Standing or walking on the sun kissed sifting sands of the little private beach is an epiphany, a
pleasure to behold, it soothes your mind body and spirit.

New Year Celebrations
✅ Enjoy a starry night of the New Year’s Eve at the rooftop bar, Amrit Tara. The ambience was glitzy and bling , what with everyone wearing masks and hats. The bonfire kept us warm, and the DJ kept us on our toes. Splendid cuisine,cocktails, unlimited snacks and drinks set the stage to welcome a beautiful new year. Ringing in hope and joie de vivre.

Rafting experience
✅ Rishikesh is also called the ‘Yoga capital of the world’. For the adventurous, Rishikesh is the place for starting their trekking expeditions and excursions towards the Himalayan peaks or river rafting in the Ganges. Anand Kashi by the Ganges offers bespoke experiences.
We indulged in river rafting.
The expedition ended at💖, with the hotel’s butler waiting for us with towels and the car. Even though it was chilling winter we felt blessed by Ganga Ma (River).

Gym, Spa and Forest essential shop
✅ A modest Gym to tone up, a rejuvenating Spa to pamper yourself ,relax and loosen up those knots at Amrit Kashi.
The Forest Essential shop is for you to indulge in and also support the local crafts women. The soft Yak wool stole is a must buy.

Infinity Pool
✅ Reflect and relax, muse over the mountains and take a leisure swim at the infinity pool silhouetted along the
curvature of the Ganges.

Dinner
✅ All-day diner, Ana Rasa brings to you piquant and scrumptious
authentic, local or global superbly well curated cuisine. The cuisine is made delicious due to fresh organic produce from their very own kitchen gardens and orchards.

Finale
✅ Stepping into Alice’s wonderland. Transported to old world charm of magnificence and indulgent luxury, gazebos and tastefully landscaped manicured gardens, mango and litchi orchards, chirping of birds, bridges over man made waterfalls. Anand Kashi offers a plethora on its plate. The entire entourage of staff from the Gate guard to the concierge to the General Manager is courteous, congenial, proactive, attentive, acquiescent and gracious. To sum it up, the ubiquitous Taj Hospitality is par exemplar and nonpareil.
Kudos to Mr. Jalpreet Singh the man of the match . He truly is a superlative champion.
