What is inside a glamping cottage at Simply Heaven?
Each deluxe cottage has air conditioning, with a room heater provided in winter, a king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, a small seating area and an attached western bathroom with hot water around the clock. Room service runs 24 hours, so tea or a late snack comes to your door.
The cottages sit in a row facing the lawn, with a covered verandah outside and River Heul a short walk away. It feels like a camp from the outside and a hotel room from the inside.

Is it still camping in a cottage?
Yes, in the way that matters to most guests. The day happens outside: River Heul and its shallow splash areas, the 500 m riverbed walk to the sand and pebble bank of the Ganga, volleyball and badminton on the lawn, and a buffet dinner around the bonfire. The night happens in a deluxe cottage with air conditioning, a room heater in winter, a king-size bed, an attached western bathroom with 24/7 hot water and 24-hour room service.
There are no tents at Simply Heaven — every guest sleeps in a cottage or a family room. For couples, families with small children, older guests and anyone travelling in May, June or midwinter, that is usually the reason to book here.

Is glamping comfortable in winter and summer?
Yes. The cottage has air conditioning for the summer, and in winter the resort provides a room heater. Winter nights in Rishikesh fall to around 5 to 8 °C from December to February, and May and June bring hot days, so a climate-controlled room is the main reason many guests book a cottage for trips outside October, November, March and April.
December to February
Pleasant days, cold nights. A room heater in the cottage, a warm bonfire, and festive dates such as the Christmas party in Rishikesh and the New Year party in Rishikesh.
March to June
Comfortable in March and April, hot by May. AC makes afternoons easy between rafting and the river splash.
July to November
Monsoon until about mid-September, when rafting is closed. October and November are clear and dry.
Who is luxury camping best for?
Luxury camping suits anyone who wants the river, the bonfire and the outdoors but also a king-size bed, a private bathroom and a climate-controlled room to return to. It works especially well for couples, families with children, older guests and work teams.
- Couples: a private cottage, candlelight dinner by the river and a quiet evening by the fire. See the couple package in Rishikesh.
- Families: double, triple and quad-sharing cottages and interconnected rooms. See the family package in Rishikesh.
- Elders: ground-floor cottages, level pathways and a short drive to Neelkanth Mahadev Temple on the same road.

What is luxury camping, or glamping, in Rishikesh?
Luxury camping, or glamping, is a camp holiday where the day is spent outdoors and the night in a furnished, climate-controlled room. At Simply Heaven it means a deluxe AC riverside cottage with a room heater in winter, a king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, an attached bathroom and 24-hour room service, with the bonfire and river outside.
Are the luxury cottages air-conditioned, and is there heating in winter?
Yes. Every deluxe cottage has air conditioning for the summer, and in winter the resort provides a room heater, so the cottage stays comfortable on hot May afternoons and on December nights when the temperature drops to around 5 to 8 °C. The property also has power backup.
Are meals included in luxury camping at Simply Heaven?
Yes. Three buffet meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are included, with evening tea and snacks. The buffet mixes Garhwali, North Indian and continental dishes, and dinner is served around the bonfire. Room service runs 24 hours.
Is there Wi-Fi in the glamping cottages?
Wi-Fi is available in the common areas of the resort rather than promised inside every cottage. Each cottage has a flat-screen TV, and the property has power backup for lights and charging.
Are the luxury cottages suitable for elderly guests?
Yes. Many cottages are on the ground floor, the pathways are level, and every cottage has an attached western bathroom with 24/7 hot water. A 24/7 front desk and room service mean help is always close.
How is luxury camping different from beach camping?
The two describe the same property from different angles. Luxury camping is about the room: an AC cottage with a room heater in winter, a king-size bed and 24-hour room service. Beach camping in Rishikesh is about the day outdoors — River Heul, the riverbed walk to the Ganga bank and the evening bonfire. Guests on either package sleep in the same AC cottages and share the same meals.
Can I add rafting to a luxury camping stay?
Yes. The resort books licensed operators and arranges transfers for river rafting in Rishikesh between about mid-September and the end of June. The 16 km Shivpuri to NIM Beach stretch is the most popular, and the minimum age is usually 14.
How much does luxury camping in Rishikesh cost?
A stay in a deluxe AC cottage is ₹2,500 per person for 1 night 2 days, which is ₹5,000 for two sharing, and ₹4,300 per person for 2 nights 3 days. That covers the cottage, all meals, evening tea and the bonfire. Rates move with group size and season, and festival dates are priced separately. Call or WhatsApp +91 93689 99410 to confirm the figure for your dates.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is at 12:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM. Early check-in or late check-out is possible when a cottage is free. Every guest must carry a valid government photo ID.
