Accommodation & Meals at the Vedic Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat Centre Rishikesh, India

Dedicated to those who are looking for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being in ashram-style living

The Vedic Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat Centre welcomes all visitors who come to Rishikesh either to participate in the yoga or ayurveda courses and therapies we offer, or those who have a spiritual motive to develop their inner consciousness through a self-retreat.

Our Centre is not a hotel – it is dedicated to those who are looking for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. If you are simply in Rishikesh for site-seeing or having fun, this may not be the right place for you.

Our dining room is called Annapurna Hall. All meals are purely vegetarian and are designed for your overall health. The meals are based on the ancient science of Ayurveda to ensure both health and wellness from the food, and are cooked by members of the family. Most of the ingredients for the meals, such as spices, vegetables, grains, etc., are locally sourced and pesticide-free wherever possible. All dairy products come from the Centre’s own dairy herd.
