Atali Ganga
India's First Activotel by the Ganges
A Rare Eco-Luxury Boutique Retreat Where Adventure Flows with the Ganges.
One Atali Ganga Estate
Two ways to stay on the Ganga.
This is not a choice between two different destinations. Atali Ganga is the forested riverside setting; The Foresterie is its private villa offering, tucked into the same Himalayan landscape.
Cottages, villas, river, forest and adventure all share one address.

The Adventure House Behind Atali
Aquaterra Adventures, brought home to Rishikesh.
Atali Ganga is Aquaterra Adventures' Rishikesh home base: a mountain lodge above the Ganga powered by the discipline, terrain knowledge and guide culture of a Himalayan adventure company operating since 1995.
On the river, that legacy shows up in the unglamorous details that matter: owned equipment, guide ratios, safety kayakers, rescue practice and route decisions made around conditions.
