Shiv Parivar Resort – Riverside Resort in Uttarkashi

Right on the Bhagirathi, 3 km Before Town

Our resort is on the bank of the Bhagirathi at Bhareti Chungi, on the New Bypass Road. That's about 3 km before you reach Uttarkashi town. We picked this spot on purpose. The market area gets crowded and noisy, especially in yatra season, and out here you mostly hear the river.

If you've been searching for a riverside resort in Uttarkashi, that's really what we are. Nothing fancy about the idea. Good rooms, clean veg food, the river right there, and people who know the area well enough to help you plan your trip.

Most of our guests are pilgrims going up to Gangotri, families on a hill holiday, or trekkers on their way to Dayara Bugyal and Gaumukh. If any of that sounds like you, a stay in Uttarkashi with us should work out well.

What You Get at Our Riverside Resort in Uttarkashi

You'll find plenty of Uttarkashi hotels online. Not many of them let you walk out of your room and sit next to the river with your chai. A few other things guests tell us they like:

  • Rooms facing the Bhagirathi

  • Pure veg, sattvik food (North Indian, Garhwali and some Continental)

  • Free yoga every morning on the riverbank

  • A small Shiva–Parvati shrine inside the campus

  • Our own trek and tour desk

  • No alcohol on the property, so it's quiet and family-friendly

  • Better rates when you book with us directly

  • We're rated 4.3 on Google (400+ reviews) and have hosted more than 500 guests so far.

Is It a Luxury Hotel in Uttarkashi?

Honestly, it depends on what luxury means to you. We don't have a casino or a rooftop bar. What we do have is comfortable AC rooms, hot water, free Wi-Fi, breakfast included, and a view you'd normally pay a lot more for in Rishikesh or Mussoorie. For a lot of our guests, that's what a luxury hotel in Uttarkashi should be.

Why Pick Us Over Other Riverside Hotels in Uttarkashi

There are a few riverside hotels in Uttarkashi, and some of them are right in the middle of town. We're a bit outside, and that's the point. You still get to the market, Kashi Vishwanath temple and the ghats in a few minutes by car, but you don't deal with the honking at night.

A normal day here goes something like this. Yoga by the water around sunrise. Breakfast. Maybe a trip into town or a short drive up the valley. Back by evening when it gets cool, dinner, and then just sitting outside because the sky is properly dark here and you can actually see stars. Not every one of the riverside hotels in Uttarkashi can give you that.

Food

Everything from our kitchen is vegetarian and cooked fresh. Ask for the Garhwali thali at least once, it's what most first-time guests end up talking about. We also do regular North Indian food and a few Continental dishes for kids or anyone who wants something lighter. We don't serve alcohol, and you can't bring it in either. Pilgrims and families seem to appreciate that.

Yoga and Some Quiet Time

Uttarkashi has always been a place where sadhus and seekers come to stay for a while, and you can feel it in the town. We run a free yoga class every morning by the river, open to every guest. If you want private sessions or Ayurvedic wellness treatments, let us know a day ahead and we'll arrange it. The shrine on campus is open all day if you want to sit and pray.

Going to Gangotri? Stop Here First

Gangotri is around 95 km away on NH-34. It takes about 4 hours, depending on the road and the weather. A lot of yatris stay the night with us, leave early, and come back to the same room after darshan. It saves you from driving the whole stretch in one go. That's why so many people use our riverside resort in Uttarkashi as their Char Dham halt.

Trekkers often compare Uttarkashi hotels based on how early they can get breakfast and whether someone can help arrange guides and plan the route. We do both.

When to Stay in Uttarkashi

The best time to stay in Uttarkashi is March to June, and then again September to early November. Skies are clear and the treks are open.

We're open in winter too (December to February). It gets very cold, so the rooms are heated. Winter is quiet, and some guests come just for that.

Keeping the River Clean

We live next to the Bhagirathi, so of course we care about it. Like any of the riverside hotels in Uttarkashi, we can either add to the plastic problem or try not to. We try not to. We keep our waste in check and ask guests to help us keep the valley clean.
