Rishi's Jungle Cafe - Rishīkesh

Rishi’s cafe can not be described in words. Such a calm lovely place in forest beside a mountain stream in Tapovan with full of positive vibes. One can sit hours sipping coffee/ tea only to listen the melodious sound of flowing mountain stream. Mr Rishi has maintained this places so well that it’s simplicity blends well in the surrounding. Choicest plants trees are planted in around cafe. One can see fruit laden trees , blooming flowers and feel the tranquility. The food served here is quite simple but the local kulath/ Kurtha dal stuff parathas served with chutney yogurt chai is simply amazing. There is a small parking space for few cars but it’s recommended to walk to this cafe to feel the nature its surroundings. Cafe starts at 0800hrs. It’s highly recommended to visit Rishi’s place enjoy the tranquility food. This cafe also has few rooms that are let out for extended period of stay. Also they arrange for river rafting , bungee jumping other water sports (contact Mr Rishi).

Bit far away from main Tapovan area. Taste was good. Nothing extraordinary. Location, greenery and the sound of small water fall makes it apart from others. Google map works great to find this location. Avoid going by Car. We tried Veg cheese Sandwiches which was good along with Ginger, Honey tea (cold) and Lemonana (Lemon mont juice) both of them were just perfect for morning breakfast.

This was my favourite place to go to in Tapovan, set in pure nature, amazing home cooking and beautiful family. It felt like a second home while spending 5 months during lockdown in India Rishikesh, a true gem. I hold many wonderful memories from here and cannot wait to come back. Thank you Rishi for sharing this magic spot.

This cafe rests between a mountain stream the himalayan jungle well maintained by Mr Rishi. One can enjoy his/her meals surrounded by greenery in the sweet sound of small mountain river. The cafe is quite simple it's location is full of healthy vibes. Local daal stuff Parathas with chutney is quite delicious.

Such an amazing and peaceful vibe during the evening its an amazing spot in the middle of the nature. With bonfire, lamps and its signature herbal drink(ginger, lemon and honey). Its perfect spot with a stream of water going along this place.
