The River
is your
dining room
A riverside sanctuary near Laxman Jhula where the holy Ganges flows at your feet, ancient aarti echoes across the water, and every meal feels like a blessing.
Life by the Ganges
Moments from our kitchen, our deck, and the sacred river outside our door.
@ganga_view_cafeMore than a cafe.
A feeling.
The deck juts directly over the Ganges. Watch the river flow, catch evening Aarti at the temple across the water. Nowhere else in Rishikesh puts you this close.
From brick-oven pizzas and Fettuccine Alfredo to shakshuka, falafel, paranthas and tiramisu — a 50+ item menu made from scratch, every day.
Extensive plant-based options crafted with care. Oat milk lattes, cold-press kombucha, tofu dishes and vegan burgers — loved by travellers from every corner of the world.
White walls.
Leaf stencils.
The Ganges.
"White washed walls, minimalist and classy decor — the kind that makes you turn your camera on."
— TripAdvisor Guest Review
Unlike every other cafe in Rishikesh, Ganga View doesn't do colourful wall hangings or hippie cushions. Just clean white walls with illustrated leaf stencils, preserved architecture, an ancient tree, and the Ganga doing the rest.

"Very nice view and relaxing atmosphere.
Very nice view of the Ganges, quiet and airy place, good food. Best spot for the view. Western food lacks seasoning."
