Welcome to Phool Chatti Ashram, a serene yoga and meditation center located in Rishikesh, India, nestled along the banks of the sacred Ganges River in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas. The name “phoolchatti” means “land of flowers”, reflecting the beautiful natural environment of this tranquil ashram.

For over 140 years, Phool Chatti Ashram has welcomed spiritual seekers from all over the world who are seeking a deeper connection with themselves and the divine. People come here for different reasons – some come to experience the 7-day Yoga & Meditation Program and immerse themselves in ashram life, while others come seeking a quiet, peaceful environment for personal practice.

The ashram is located just five kilometers upriver from Laxman Jhula, making it easily accessible yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town life.
