I grew up in a house where every guest - whether family, friend, or traveler, was welcomed with a glass of water, a hot cup of chai, and something light to eat. That small act of care stayed with me, and it's now at the heart of how I host :) These small, heartfelt gestures are second nature to us, rooted in the spirit of Atithi Devo Bhava, where comfort, cleanliness, and care go hand in hand. You’ll likely arrive to fresh filtered water, a few snacks to help you settle in, and a thoughtful little touch that reminds you: you’re not just booking a room, you’re being welcomed into a home ❀ 💛 This simple, soulful hospitality will always remain central to Shankar Bhawan. From our terrace ☀, you can even spot the iconic Janki Setu - a serene sight amidst mountains worth taking in ✩ ⫸ FAQ's, Please note: We are not 🚫 a party place ❌ No Smoking Indoors Strictly 🚭 | No-alcohol ☒ | and no non-vegetarian food ☒ (please respect the space ☯, Rishikesh is a dry zone, and non-veg is legally restricted) ☐ In line with our safety and comfort standards, we do not host teenagers or very young guests unless accompanied by a responsible adult. ✦ Group Stays ✦ ● Planning a trip with friends or family?
