A destination wedding in Rishikesh, with the mandap on the Ganga
Simply Heaven is one of the few venues in Rishikesh with its own ghat on the Ganga. The mandap, the pheras and the jaimala happen right there on the riverbank, with the hills rising behind you — not on a lawn with a distant view of the water.
Haldi, mehendi and sangeet run up at the resort on the lawn beside River Heul, dinner is served under the lights, and up to 70 guests sleep a few steps away across 17 cottages. One property, one celebration, nobody driving between venues — and for a larger party, the team arranges rooms nearby.
