Camp Ganga Riviera
Situated on the banks of the mighty Ganga, getting here is in itself an experience. In an effort to maintain the grandeur of an isolated beach & jungle camp, it is at a distance of 2 kms from the nearest road head on the Rishikesh- Badrinath highway.
One has to walk for approximately 30 mins, crossing a quaint jhoola pul and the age old pilgrim’s path to Badrinath to reach the camp.
Accommodation is on twin sharing basis in comfortably large tents with independent toilets and separate hot and cold shower.
