HOW KARWAAN BEGAN

Built by the river. Shaped by a feeling.

Welcome to Karwaan. Come as a guest, leave as part of the journey.

Karwaan began with a simple wish—to create a place where people could stay close to the Ganga and experience Rishikesh without rushing through it.

What started with a single room gradually grew into a riverside homestay, café and gathering place for travellers, creators and seekers.

Even as Karwaan grows, the idea remains simple: comfortable rooms, thoughtful food, warm hospitality and enough time to notice the river, the mountains and the quieter moments in between.

Experience

A peaceful riverside sanctuary to rest, taste, explore, and restore.

Amazing stay with beautiful Ganga river and Laxman Jhula view. Ganga Aarti was also visible from the hotel, which made the experience very special. The staff was very polite and helpful.

Property located in opposite side of Tapivan, one of the best locations of Rishikesh. The view of Ganga from hotel is extremely beautiful.

Superb location It was a very nice location on which we stayed. The rooms could have been better, but Aarti was done from the porch of my room, which was very comfortable and lucky, thank you.
