About BBTG

THE PERFECT GETAWAY

The mighty Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meander through the mountains and valleys, restless to find each other and join into a roaring confluence, to be reborn as the Ganga. Here a little inward downstream from Devprayag on the left, is a stretch of isolated river beach lost in time with a 300-year-old Banyan tree as its keeper. The setting for an adventure and rejuvenation of a lifetime. Make this slice of heaven your home for a few nights and delve into the spiritual dimension of your existence.

In the lap of green serenity, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this riverside retreat ensures you unwind from the stress of daily routine effortlessly. Laze away reading in quiet solitude, try a hand at angling or experience the rush of adrenaline on the white waters, all making the ingredients for a perfect getaway.

The Retreat

Banyan By The Ganges has the most salubrious setting throughout the year. While the 300-year-old Banyan tree offers its eternal shade, the resort boasts of a great tree cover and has natural gardens and sidewalks. The 13 cottages are well-spaced with comfortable sitting areas, a volleyball court, and a gazebo where you can enjoy winter evenings around a bonfire with friends and family.

An open dining area and lounge named 'The Riverstone Diner' is for great conversations over delicious meals or board games and is also just the place to flip through our fine collection of books. A few minutes walk down an unpaved path leads to the Ganga and the entire area with its canopy of trees offers endless explorations with the presence of more than 120 species of birds.

Unexplainable Bliss!!
Well this was a suddenly planned trip and fortunately a riverside room was available.And words are few to describe the mind blowing experience we have had during our two nights stay at the resort. If we would have had the chance then could have stayed longer. The sound of the Ganges, the chirping birds, the always smiling and ready to help staffs and the sumptuous food- it was all perfect. If you are reading this and you are a nature lover then Banyan by the Ganges is a must visit. It’s a 20mins drive from Devprayag.We hope to be back soon 😊

Great for Kids, Restful for Adults
I brought my eight year old son here in early April and we have not stopped reminiscing about it since we've been home. We live in California and frequently spend time in the wilderness but this was something special. The sound of the river is a beautiful and constant backdrop to every conversation, and there are endless things to do - rafting, fishing, strolling or hiking.
The staff here is very attentive and generous, and many many extra accommodations for us - jet lagged, and not familiar (especially my son!) with Indian cuisine. I highly recommend making the effort to visit this spot, and letting it work its magic on you!!

Action adventure in beautiful scenery
Had a fabulous stay for 6 nights. Did a wide range of activities including trekking, white water rafting and mountain biking, all led by the excellent guides. The scenery and experience was fabulous. And the effort made to make my holiday experience special was truly fabulous.

Mesmerizing place!!
This beautiful place.... is a full package of serenity and adventure and if you're looking for both then, This is the place to go! Its far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and it provides a picturesque view of the Ganges. The clear sky and the sound of the river Ganga adds so much tranquility to the place. The people are friendly and helpful and they have a cute GSD, Kiwi, my little one loved playing with her. Will definitely see you again "Banyan By The Ganges"

Excellent Property
It is one place I want to visit again and again. Our trip in April 2022 was mesmerising. After a bit detour from Devprayag, we geolocated the property in sometime. Once there, the nature, food, fun and sports were awaiting for us. So much so that we decided to extend our stay by a night and the office in Delhi obliged with the booking. A place and the yummy food with great hospitality. Keep up the good work!

Place to Relax, Rewind and Detox
Rishikesh has many camps, but quality is poor. This one is 3 hours away but is of supreme quality. The place is tastefully done up. The location is breathtaking, food is brilliant and staff is very warm and attentive. We were a group 6 adults and 6 kids and stayed for two nights. While the place has lot of activities, one could just sit in winter sunshine and read a book all day. Our kids played sports, walked upto the Ganges and did a trek to the nearby village. It’s a place to rewind, relax and detox. All of us were sad while leaving the place. Looking forward to comeback
