Rishikesh is a vegetarian city by law, so all the food prepared and shared is vegetarian/vegan. The food served for us will be plant-based, wholesome and nourishing satvik food.

Most of our meals will be held at our accommodation but we will go out for a few so that we have a chance to enjoy the lovely cafes in Rishikesh when out and about.

Vegan and gluten-free options available.
