More Than a Stay —
You're Family
Drawing from 33+ years of personal caregiving experience between them, sisters Nidhi and Aakanksha understand the unique needs of those traveling for medical reasons near AIIMS Rishikesh, as well as families and pilgrims heading to the Char Dham.

Chapter 1: The Why
"After decades of caring for family members through medical treatments together, we saw what travelers to AIIMS really needed — not luxury, but reliability, warmth, and sisters who understand."
Chapter 2: The Space
"What started as a single apartment for relatives became a sanctuary for strangers who became family. Today, SocialGully hosts doctors, pilgrims, solo women, and families — all treated as our own."
Chapter 3: The Promise
"Every guest leaves with both our numbers. Not for complaints — for updates, for chai recommendations, for 'I'm coming back next month.'"

View on Airbnb"Stayed here and honestly, it felt just like home. The host was extremely active, responsive, and very accommodating with flexible timings, which made the stay smooth and stress-free. The location is a big plus—peaceful and conveniently situated right beside AIIMS. The house was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The host was soft-spoken, polite, and great with communication throughout. Overall, it was definitely worth the price. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm, comfortable stay with a caring host."

"Had a decent stay here recently. Pros: Location is bland but away from city noise, close to AIIMS. Transparent — place looked as in the pictures. Amenities: all mentioned amenities were available. Extremely accommodating hosts, really responsive. Early check-in and late check-out subject to availability. Cons: Transportation problem as it's a little far from Laxman Jhula. There was a slight gas leak, reported to hosts. Dusting wasn't done. Overall: We had a good stay, albeit slight inconveniences."

"The place is located in a peaceful environment, away from the routine buildings of Tapovan and Laxman Jhula. Overall it's a great place to be, but just that the cleanliness of the place can be upgraded. Not saying that it wasn't clean per se, just that it could be better. Overall recommended."
