Café

Good food tastes better by the river.

Karwaan Café is a vegetarian riverside café in Rishikesh made for slow breakfasts, relaxed lunches, coffee, conversations and sunset views of the Ganga. Resident and walk-in guests are welcome, subject to seating availability.

Karwaan is looked after by a small team based right here in Tapovan — many of whom grew up along this stretch of the Ganga.

That local footing shapes everything from the breakfast menu to the walking routes we recommend; we’re not describing Rishikesh to you from a brochure, we’re sharing the version of it we actually live in.

  • Menu Highlights: Enjoy pure vegetarian dishes including tandoori platters, Alfredo pasta, and Nutella pancakes. 
     
  • Evening Experience: Visit during sunset to watch the Ganga Aarti across the river from your table. 
     
  • Weekend Entertainment: Groove to live music sessions typically hosted on weekend evenings.
