The Palms Resort
A restful base between Rishikesh outings
Rishikesh can be a lively place to move between temples, river walks and journeys farther into the hills; The Palms Resort gives travelers a comfortable base between outings. Set on Haridwar Rishikesh Road, it is hospitality-led rather than a documented meditation school, so think of it as a place to rest and plan your days, not a retreat with a defined lineage or regular practice schedule. Rooms have air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, towels, coffee and tea, and housekeeping. The restaurant lists vegan, vegetarian, Ayurvedic and organic choices, making it easier to find meals that suit different preferences. Free parking, tour assistance and bicycles for rent add useful flexibility for exploring the area. Rates start at USD 44, though the rate unit and inclusions should be confirmed before booking. Ask the resort directly about any meditation or retreat activities during your stay.
