Spiritual and Meditative Location
Spashram RiverMountain Retreat, located above the holy city of Rishikesh in the base of India’s majestic Himalayas, is the lovingly cultivated passion project of estate owner Inder Jit Singh, crafted over a quarter century journey.
Tucked into a hillside on the banks of the sparkling upper Ganges River at the Gateway to the Gods, the Retreat is both an experiment in reforesting a riverine escarpment comprised largely of sandy soil, and a stellar example of Eco conscious tourism.

Where River and Mountain Meet
Flowing from the glacial waters of the Cow’s Mouth (or Gaumukh) Glacier in the high Himalaya, the river inspired the creation of this unique microbiodiversity of pristine glade and forest, rich underbrush and small orchard plantation, all of which provide safe haven to a variety of birds and small wildlife.
Also for the Adventurous
With roots in award-winning adventure training, sport, team-building and leadership programs for myriad organizations (from the British Army and RAF, to universities and international blue chip companies like American Express and HSBC), the site is renowned for water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, fishing and trekking.
Neighbourhood
Today, Spashram RiverMountain Retreat also specializes in yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and plain old rest, relaxation and connection with nature. We welcome those seeking physical adventure, meditative environments, dietary and lifestyle changes, and beyond. Indeed, adventurers, artists, families, couples, solo travelers and corporate executives all find their way here to unplug and heal.
In addition to yoga and yoga retreats, meditation, ayurveda, fishing, rock climbing, hiking, kayaking and river rafting adventures, Spashram is the perfect jumping-off point for Himalayan treks, village and river exploration, bird watching, wildlife excursions to the National Parks, exploring old British Raj hill stations like Mussoorie or Dehra Dun, or visiting Rishikesh, Deoprayag, Badrinath and Hemkund (and the Valley of Flowers) which hold deep cultural and spiritual significance for Hindus and Sikhs.
Outdoor
From mountain adventure to intense yoga, there is something at Spashram just for you! We do not fit inside a box, and thus the normal classifications found in many other hotels and lodges do not apply here. For example, depending on your fitness and vigour, you can raft or zip line, in or out! The natural outdoors is our gym, and the river is our pool (under supervision / for experienced swimmers).
A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE
The two bungalows sleep one couple each. Open Wi-Fi is broadly available in certain spots, but there is no television or internet to interfere with birdsong and wildlife calls, including the alarm call of the barking deer when an elusive leopard is about!
Delicious meal (with fresh, home-grown ingredients) and High Tea are served in the grand tent, or al fresco in one of our many hideaways.
Spashram - Your Last Resort
Spashram is a place to engage with harmony and inclusiveness, and with the natural and rural human biodiversity of the surroundings. It is beloved by discerning travellers seeking adventure, healing, solitude, natural sounds, a really bright night sky, and driftwood bonfires on the beach.
