The Glasshouse on the Ganges –
Magical Bliss

The Glasshouse on The
Ganges, honours both an
extraordinary geographical site
where the Ganga turns around
and flows north towards
its source. It is a magical
natural spot. Set in a lychee
and mango orchard of the
Maharajas of Tehri Garhwal,
with a garden of tropical
plants, full of rare birds and
butterflies, our Rishikesh hotel
has a sand beach of its own. In
the heart of Uttarakhand next
to the Ganges sits the Amrit
Kashi Spa which mirrors the
aesthetic of timeless charm.
Once the summer retreat of the
Maharajas of Tehri Garhwal
is situated on the first bend
of the river where it turns to
the east. This has always
been venerated in Vedic
texts as being exceptionally
auspicious. You can feel the
vibrations of legendary calm,
peace and serenity that are
present here even today. This
has been the inspiration for
Amrit Kashi, the Spa. This
place has a transformative
wellness effect inherently.
spa in Rishikesh is the perfect
place to experience freshly
prepared treatments and
services inspired by plant-
based healing traditions from
Ayurveda. With an atmosphere
of intense wellbeing and
tranquillity, the spa offers a
selection of bespoke beauty
and health-enhancing

rafting, rock climbing, cliff
jumping, add to the physical
wellbeing.
