About Mountain Mama
We provide the view. You bring the stories.
Mountain Mama is the only property in the Greater Rishikesh region offering Swiss-style cottages on stilts, creating a stay that feels private and close to nature. The east-facing setting welcomes the most stunning sunrise, with the sky turning shades of orange and gold each morning.
Here, you can relax and rejuvenate in our thoughtfully designed cottages with bay windows, adorned with the finest linen and comfortable bedding that promise a restful night’s sleep.
Savour home-cooked food crafted from fresh, local ingredients. Surrounded by peace, calm and the pleasant chirping of native birds, Mountain Mama invites you to unwind by the bonfire under a starlit sky — a haven for those seeking tranquility and connection with nature.
