Places to stay
Where you can stay
In Tapovan, arranged by us
For courses that are not residential, we can arrange a room close to the shala, so you can walk to class. We confirm availability and the price on WhatsApp before anything is booked.
At the ashram
The 7-day retreat and residential courses are held at Phool Chatti Ashram, and your room is part of the programme. Simple ashram rooms, in the forest, by the Ganga.
Your own arrangement
You are free to stay anywhere. Tapovan has guesthouses at every price. If you tell us your budget, we can point you to places students have liked. We take no commission.
Where you will live
Life at Phool Chatti Ashram on the Ganga, since 1885
Since 1885
One of the oldest ashrams on the Ganga, with forest on three sides and no town around it.
1885Founded
15km upstream of Rishikesh
3sides of forest
140years of practice
Phool Chatti Ashram sits where the Ganga leaves the hills, about 15 km upstream of Rishikesh. What you hear in the morning is the river and the birds. For over 140 years it has been a place of practice, carried by a lineage of swamis. It is a working ashram, not a resort: modern facilities, but the day follows the ashram rhythm.
