Leela Hatha

The place had a quiet and calm set up. Most suited for people looking to indulge in yoga and other gatherings. Its great to stay indoors. The house had a meditative feel and was designed pretty cozy. The cook Geetaji cooks amazing food. The housekeeper Pooja is cheerful and Neha who manages the property is a humble and pleasant person to talk to.

The place wasn't suited for someone looking to explore Rishikesh. Commuting to and fro from the place was extremely exhausting. Additionally given the kind of a set up this was, self service was practiced by all guests. Not an ideal set up for people not willing to stay indoors all the time. Moreover, the place had breakfast included in the description on booking.com which was also a reason we chose it. Turns out the homestay offered brunch at 10.30 am and stated the terminology was used by booking.com. This blunder was a big put off for us as we had to figure out breakfast each day making the stay uncomfortable. They were not willing to adjust the breakfast instead of the brunch. They weren't willing to reduce the days when asked so we had to stick with it. This is a mistake by the platform promoting the homestay. None of these were mentioned on the page.

Ich habe mich im Leela Homestay in Upper Tapovan, Rishikesh vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Schöne, gepflegte Räume, unglaublich freundliche Menschen und leckeres, sattvic homecooked Essen. Besonders schön waren die gemeinsamen Mahlzeiten, Gespräche und der kleine Ausflug zur Ganga. Außerdem ist Leela das Zuhause von Hatha Yoga nach Sadhguru – Rahul bietet Klassen, Workshops und Retreats an. Sehr zu empfehlen, ich komme definitiv wieder!

really amazing place, peaceful and meditative energy. Food is really amazing, people are very very helpful. explored rishikesh best possible for us because of people at leela. ♥️

there are some small things, but they will not make any difference.

Yoga shala for practice. They try to do their best to accommodate you.

Booked for 2 nights dorm though booking, once arrived the room was not available. There was another room available for different price, agreed to the budged, and bathroom wasn't cleaned properly with someones underwater in it. Next day asked to move to another room. I didn't feel comfortable.
