Tip from Trip101 local expert
I always tell my friends who are visiting Rishikesh that if you want a taste of the local boho vibe, you've got to check out Freedom Cafe and Harry's Cafe at Laxman Jhula. They're only about a 22-minute drive from this property and are my go-to for a relaxing meal with scenery that never fails to impress. Picture this: you're lounging with a tasty bite, surrounded by eclectic decor, and right there—the Ganga flows gracefully before you. The food? Absolutely delicious.
