Camping in Rishikesh
A night in a riverside camp is the best sleep in Rishikesh — Swiss tents pitched near the Ganga at Shivpuri or Byasi, a bonfire under the foothill sky, and rafting on your doorstep in the morning. Here’s what camping here really involves and how to pick the right camp.

Overview
Riverside camping
on the Ganga
Most Rishikesh camps cluster upriver around Shivpuri and Byasi (roughly 16–30 km from town), set back from the water on forested banks and beaches. You sleep in twin- or multi-share Swiss tents with proper beds, and share clean common washrooms.
The rhythm is simple and lovely: arrive, raft or relax, then an evening of volleyball or a short walk, a bonfire, dinner and starlight — no traffic, no crowds, just the river.
