Rishikesh is a holy city also known as the Yoga city and the starting point for the Char Dham yatra. However, in recent times it is gaining in popularity as an adventure tourism destination, especially river rafting. The waters of the Ganges are quite turbulent in places and rafting on these waters can be quite exhilarating.

A typical one day river rafting tour in Rishikesh would go like this:

This is grade III, III+ rafting stretch and usually takes about 2-3 hours on the river (in Dec & Jan, it takes 3-4 hrs) and has about ten rapids including small and bigger ones. Some of the good rapids we run on this stretch are called Three blind mice (III+), Cross fire (III), Roller coaster (III+), Golf Course (III+), Rapids are safe to raft though there are some big waves and hydraulics.

We also provide you some snacks and soft drinks on the way. It is 2-3 hours fun on the river with some good splashes and big hits. Body surfing and cliff jumping is a part of the rafting package.
