Where to Stay in Uttarakhand

Destinations catering to leisure tourists- such as Dehradun, Mussoorie and Nainital - offer perhaps the widest range of places to stay. These are the places with hotels- all the way from economy to deluxe- along with smart resorts and smaller guesthouses, rest houses and inns.

Room tariffs can vary considerably, from a few hundred rupees for a decent room to a few thousand for a fancy cottage or suite. Budget options include many tourist lodges and rest houses operated by the GMVN and the KMVN.

Important pilgrim centres- like Haridwar, Badrinath, Kedarnath and Rishikesh - are replete with ashrams and dharamshalas, where basic accommodation is available. Often these are free, or are very nominal, remuneration may be expected in the form of a voluntary donation to the establishment.
