Banyan By The Ganges

A riverside sanctuary where nature whispers and the Ganga flows unhurried.

Banyan By The Ganges is a soul-soothing retreat tucked away in the quiet village of Vyasghat, far from the busy towns of Uttarakhand. Flanked by a centuries-old banyan tree and nestled on the banks of a pristine, glacial stretch of the Ganga, this intimate hideaway offers immersive stillness, riverside charm, and barefoot luxury beneath open skies.
