Rishis International

Stuti welcomed me into her home with such warmth and openness that the whole stay felt special. She’s created a place where you can step away from everyday life and, if you’re ready, reconnect with yourself. I left already wanting to return, and often. Getting there takes a short hike through beautiful plants and trees, away from the usual traffic noise. In the mornings I heard birds and leaves moving in the wind, and, if the timing was right, soft raindrops. The quiet can make you question your life of inane meetings! The place is far from the usual hill destinations, and it felt completely different from anywhere I’ve stayed before. During my stay I was the only guest. Every meal was made fresh with great care, and we had many engaging conversations over food. By the end of my last two and some days, it felt less like a place I was visiting and more like somewhere I was returning to. When my booked cab ran into a major snafu on departure day, Stuti stayed in touch and looked for solutions. She arranged for someone to take me to a nearby cafe so I wouldn’t have to wait in the heat, then coordinated with a cab company. The driver arrived promptly and took me to Dehradun airport, so I got home in time. I can’t wait to go back when the place reopens in a few months. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I promise you can’t do better than booking Stuti’s place. Thank you for welcoming me to your home!

We’ve been coming back for over a year, and the property now feels like the place we want to stay. My wife and I are always warmly welcomed by the friendly local staff, and I’m grateful to everyone connected with this beautiful place. Stuti and her staff show us so much kindness and hospitality. It’s set up as a retreat for Yoga, Meditation, and spiritual connection, with nature walks available with the team. I’ve seen overseas tourists volunteering during their Yoga and meditation campaigns. This is a place to rejuvenate, not for party hoppers. Couples who want solitude would also be happy here. The surroundings feel surreal, with lush natural landscaping, vegan meals, and the steady sound of water flowing in a small river or stream nearby. The rooms are airy, extremely clean, and comfortable. There’s no television, which makes it easier to connect with nature. The location is just right for the peace and hibernation I wanted. Once, on a full moon night, I sat quietly singing for a while and watched the moon slowly rise from beside a mountain. It was wonderful to have that personal space without anyone stopping me. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a break now and then to refresh in nature.

We visited Rishis International two years ago for a family get-together and celebrated my daughter’s birthday there. The host went above and beyond to welcome us, and, at our special request, arranged a really beautiful birthday setup. That, along with the calm surroundings and wonderful host, made it our most memorable family vacation. The resort’s rustic and antique decor fits in nicely with the nature around it. Our room was clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the hosts and staff were prompt, helpful, and cooperative. There’s a beautiful yogashala, a natural water stream, and lots of quiet spots, both natural and built, to enjoy the resort and its setting. It’s peaceful and away from the bustle of town, great for unwinding with friends or family, taking a technology detox, or going trekking nearby. I recommend Rishis International Eco Luxury resort.

We stayed at this retreat a few days ago, and the hosts were amazing company who made the experience even better. For explorers, it could be one of the most memorable stays. You’re living in the mountains, with raw nature all around, local mountain life to experience, and spring water coming right from its source. There’s homemade satvic food and a special, exotic feel that even most 7-star properties won’t have. But if you want a luxury stay with manmade arrangements and every comfort, this place isn’t for you.
