Shivanandi River Lodge

The owner is a wonderful host. The place is comfortable clean and the staff is excellent. Food served is fresh, tasty and wholesome.

We felt absolutely relaxed! The staff takes such good care of you. The room had rustic styling but was large and had everything we needed. The owner, Shalabh, was so easy to talk to and so helpful. The property is located along the river and while you have to traverse a long set of stairs to get there (hard to find the stairs in the night if you don’t know where to look), that trip is worth it because all you hear is the rushing water and no road noise! The grounds are extensive: natural spring feeds a soaking pool or you can go into the river. There are many types of plants and trees and a wetland area, making a nature paradise! The spring water is used in preparing meals as well and the food was fresh and plentiful- we had to telll them to stop bringing food because we didn’t want to waste any!

Resort is located at perfect place with all the elements of nature around and walk-able distance from the road.Comfort, food, people everything is up to the mark.

Owner of the property was great, he treated us very well and make us felt as at home. Food served was awesome home cooked food, location of the lodge and view all are best. Rooms and toilet were so clean and rooms were big and clean with good ventilation and light.

If bathroom kit can be provided that it will be great and a small stool to sit and bath.

It was beautifully maintained, in a stunning location

Access to the property was tricky

Friendly staff

Bug ridden facilityNo electricity, no power backupNo safe parking

GOOD location and the staff

Run down property. No visible, hotel sign. HORRIBLE, UNSAFE CONDITIONS TO WALK TO THE HOTL FROM THE HWY ROAD. HOTEL IS IN RUN DOWN CONDITIONS, MAY LAST ONE YEAR MAX.

Comfortable room and ambient. Friendly and caring owner

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Shivanandi River Lodge. I organize spiritual journeys for Westerners and our group stayed here after visiting Kedarnath and Badrinath which was a physically exhausting journey and this was absolutely the PERFECT resting spot. The grounds are gorgeous, everyone who works there is so friendly and we ate one of the best meals, if not the best meal, of our entire journey! We absolutely plan on coming back next year with another group!

Owner was really polite and caring. property is at an amazing location. Parents loved it.

Excellent Location... Right on the river Alaknanda. Private Natural PoolGreat service and fresh hot foodVery scenic location...midst of nature.Just to keep in mind.. the place is rustic and a little raw( intentionally) and not your typical resort with lots of facilities. Dont expect luxury or premiumness. Also one has to walk a bit to reach the place from the highway. So elderly family members could have a problem.But if you want to unwind and get a peaceful simple natural holiday, without the commercialness of hotels/resorts, then this place is just right. People can really stay for days here and de-stress. Or if you want to have a very active sporty holiday, you could indulge in rafting and kayaking ( this place has all the facilities). We missed doing it because of lack of time.Shalabh is a good helpful host who has created this wonderful place. We thank him also as because of him we were lucky to see fire flies in the night, something my family wanted to see for a long time. We also had good sessions on the river and also captured some really serene moments. This place will stand apart in your mind!

Everything was likeable about this place. Great location, amazing food, clean and relaxing. And shalabh, the owner and his staff really take care of you. The food was really tasty even with the diet restrictions we had. Sine we were doing a pilgrimage, could not avail of the kayaking/rafting opportunity. Will return to relax there in future. Shalabh is a great guy to talk to and is very helpful and kind. A great home away from home.
