River & Forest
A boutique guest house and homestay in Rishikesh for slow forest getaways near the Ganga, Rajaji National Park, and AIIMS.
01 / The Sanctuary
A Rishikesh homestay where jungle, river, and silence meet.
Tucked inside Kunaw Village on the edge of Rajaji National Park, Now & Nature is a small boutique guest house in Rishikesh and homestay built around what the Himalayas already do best — slowness, biodiversity, and unspoiled mornings. Guests wake to birdsong, walk two minutes to the Ganga, and end their days around a stone bonfire under a star-thick sky.
02 / The Rooms
Hand-painted rooms, jungle-cooled air
Spacious, airy bedrooms with hand-painted murals, woven rattan, AC, and floor cushions. Local craft meets modern comfort — every room opens onto green.
03 / Fluidity
Where water meets wisdom
A two-minute walk through forest paths leads you to the white pebbles and turquoise pools of the Ganga. Sunrise meditations. Sunset wanders. The river that taught India to be still.
04 / Wildness
Mornings the city forgot
Frequent peacock and deer sightings within the property perimeter. Birding logs on the veranda. Forest walks led by villagers who grew up on these trails.
05 / Why Guests Love It
