Why spend the Good Friday long weekend in Rishikesh?
The Good Friday and Easter weekend falls in late March, when Rishikesh has warm, sunny days, cool evenings and a full rafting season. From Delhi it is about 240 km, so a Friday-to-Sunday trip gives you two full nights by the river without taking leave.
Simply Heaven Rishikesh sits beside River Heul on Neelkanth Temple Road, with the Ganga riverbank about a 500 m walk away and Rajaji National Park nearby. The package mixes slow time at the resort (river splash, games, bonfires) with one full day out for rafting, the glass bridge and the evening Ganga Aarti.

What is the weather in Rishikesh at Easter?

What to pack
- Quick-dry clothes and a spare set for rafting
- Sports sandals or shoes with grip for the river and trek
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap
- A light jacket or sweater for the evenings
- Government photo ID for every guest
Is the Good Friday package good for families?
Yes. The plan has short travel days, a shallow river to splash in, open lawns and mild buffet dishes for children. Families can book double, triple or quad-sharing AC cottages or interconnected rooms, and elders get ground-floor cottages on level paths.
Rafting is usually for ages 14 and up, so younger children can stay back for games or join the waterfall hike. For room options, see the family package in Rishikesh.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the cottage type, group size and any extra activities. Send your dates and number of guests on WhatsApp for the current rate; a token advance from ₹500 up to 25% of the package value confirms the booking.
Holi and Good Friday in the same week: can you do both?
Yes. In 2027, Holi is on Monday 22 March and Good Friday on Friday 26 March, only four days apart. You can join Holi in Rishikesh 2027 with its organic colours and live DJ, go home, and come back for the long weekend, or ask the team about one longer stay that covers both.
- Getting here: Delhi is about 240 km (5 to 6 hours via the Delhi-Meerut Expressway); Jolly Grant Airport is about 30 to 35 km (around an hour by cab); trains run to Yog Nagari Rishikesh and Haridwar Junction.
- Nearby: Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is further up the same road; Laxman Jhula and Tapovan are about 18 km away.
- Directions and map: see the contact and booking page.
