A Café Space With a Story to Tell

Travel Diaries Café is the resident café and social venue at Bedzzz, a Leisure Hotels property located in Laxman Jhula, one of Rishikesh's most iconic and characterful neighbourhoods. Sitting on the banks of the Ganges in the yoga capital of the world, the café draws its name and its soul from the spirit of travel — the kind of place that invites guests to linger, swap stories, and feel instantly at ease. The interiors carry the warm, eclectic personality you would expect from a space designed for explorers: think travel-inspired décor, relaxed seating, and an atmosphere that balances the energy of a bustling café with the calm that Rishikesh itself is known for.

The space is designed with community at its centre. Whether you have arrived solo with a journal, in a group looking for a memorable gathering spot, or as a corporate team seeking an informal setting for a workshop or offsite, Travel Diaries Café offers a setting that feels personal rather than transactional. Its character is a deliberate departure from generic hotel dining rooms — the travel motif runs through the design language, giving every event held here a distinct, ready-made backdrop without needing elaborate decoration.

Events and Occasions at Travel Diaries Café

The café is well suited to a range of intimate events and social gatherings. Its setting makes it a natural choice for small birthday celebrations, informal receptions, networking evenings, travel or lifestyle brand activations, and leisure-focused corporate offsites that want to use the Rishikesh environment as part of the experience itself. The relaxed, story-driven atmosphere also makes it popular for pre-wedding get-togethers, reunion dinners, and creative workshops where the venue's personality is part of the draw.

For corporate planners, the café provides a refreshing alternative to formal conference setups. Rishikesh has grown steadily as a destination for wellness retreats and team-building programmes, and Travel Diaries Café fits naturally into that narrative — a space where agendas feel lighter and conversations flow more freely. In-house catering through Bedzzz supports food and beverage requirements for events, with the café's menu rooted in the kind of wholesome, traveller-friendly offerings that suit the town's international and domestic visitor mix.

Location and Access

Laxman Jhula is one of Rishikesh's best-known landmarks — a suspension bridge over the Ganges that has drawn travellers, pilgrims, and seekers for generations. Bedzzz sits in this neighbourhood, meaning guests reach Travel Diaries Café with the Ganges, the ghats, and the foothills of the Himalayas as their immediate context. The location is walkable from Laxman Jhula itself, and Rishikesh is well connected by road to Dehradun (approximately 43 kilometres) and Haridwar (approximately 24 kilometres), both of which have railway stations and, in the case of Dehradun, an airport.

For event planners, this location is a genuine selling point: Rishikesh as a destination carries its own aspirational value, and anchoring an event at a café steps from the Ganges adds an experiential layer that a city hotel simply cannot replicate.
