R D HOMESTAY

I've had an amazing stay with Ramesh, Kiran and family. I have felt very much imbraced by the whole family. And have been given the chance to feel at home away from home. There is so much kindness in this place! You truly get to experience Indian family life and become part of it. With very delicious food as well. It seems very important for them that you enjoy your stay here and feel comfortable. And you always have an helping hand if you need some support, have any questions or face any problems. I initially booked for 2 nights as a temporary solution but this is day 5 and I'm still here!
Thank you family for having me here!! Yay!!

Ramesh & his family at R.D Homestay are 5 star quality! They are so LOVELY & KIND & I felt welcome right from the start.
I only booked to stay for 2 nights as I was moving onto a hotel but I cancelled the hotel within hrs of arriving as I preferred to stay here.

The house: Situated in a quiet laneway in upper Tapovan. A little tricky to find at first so make sure you call Ramesh on arrival in Tapovan so he can direct you. Relaxed & airy with a rooftop for hanging clothes & doing some morning yoga.

The room: is basic but very comfortable with your own bathroom & ceiling fan.

The food: as it says on the ad, breakfast is complimentary (which is anything from toast & butter to a yummy stuffed paratha & chai!) a great start to the day.
And as the food was so good, I had many nutritious meals there for only Rs150 each.

Ramesh even helped by taking me on his scooter to an ancient cave & Neer Waterfall. Just make sure you offer to pay for some petrol.

My first 9 days in Rishikesh would not have been the same had I stayed somewhere else.
I believe I've made friends for life with this lovely family.
Do yourself a favor & stay at R.D Homestay.
