Reset Wellness Retreat
2 Nights / 3 Days Retreat
Overview
Two nights, three full days, and nothing left to chance. Riverside yoga at dawn, a rafting run with a professional crew, a temple sunrise above the valley, and a hidden waterfall before you leave: the real Rishikesh, in a weekend that still leaves room to breathe.
Your days, hour by hour
Meals are your own, on purpose. Rishikesh's cafés are part of the experience, and locking you into a set meals would work against the very freedom this package offers. Tell your guide (host) the mood, and they'll walk you to the right spot. You pay only for what you order.

Season & weather
Rishikesh has three seasons. Winters (November to February) are cool, with cold mornings and nights by the river, so pack warm layers. Summers (March to June) are warm to hot, so carry water, light cotton and sun protection. The monsoon (July to September) brings rain and a fuller river, so some plans shift with the conditions, and your guide (host) adapts the day for safety.
Questions, answered
What if I arrive late or early?
No problem at all. The plan flexes around your arrival, so just tell us roughly when you reach Rishikesh and we shape the days around your timing and pace.
Is the itinerary fixed?
It is a guide, not a fixed promise. The final arrangement depends on your actual arrival time, access and operating conditions, so a given experience cannot always be guaranteed, and your guide (host) adapts the plan to keep it smooth and safe.
Do I need yoga experience?
No. The daily practice is all levels and starts from foundations, so beginners and returning practitioners both have a place in it.
Is the stay included?
Yes. Your accommodation for the nights is part of the retreat; the exact room and property are shown when you book.
What does a typical day look like?
Morning yoga and breathwork by the Ganga, breakfast, an excursion or free time, evening meditation and aarti, then dinner and an early night. Your host keeps the rhythm gentle.
Can I add treatments like Ayurveda or sound healing?
Yes, subject to availability. Ask your host and we arrange it around the day at the confirmed price.
Is the Ganga dip compulsory?
No. It is optional and depends on safe river conditions and your own comfort.
Real trips, real words.
I had only two days in Rishikesh and wanted to make the most of them without running around like a typical tourist. Book My Rishikesh planned everything beautifully. The timing, places, food recommendations and activities all felt thoughtfully chosen. And whenever I had a question, there was actually a person to answer. Such a refreshing way to explore Rishikesh.
