How to build
your adventure day

A great Rishikesh day usually pairs one big-ticket activity with something slower. Raft in the middle of the day when the river is best; add a bungee or giant swing in the morning; end at the Ganga aarti or with a quiet yoga session.

If you’re short on time, the 2-day package is the efficient way to do the headline experiences without logistics. If you have longer, we’ll layer in a Kunjapuri sunrise, a waterfall trek or a yoga morning.

✓Adrenaline: rafting, bungee, giant swing, flying fox, cliff jumping
✓Water: kayaking, body-surfing, riverside camping
✓Foothills: Kunjapuri sunrise, Neelkanth Mahadev, Neer Garh waterfall
✓Calm: yoga, meditation, the Beatles Ashram, the Ganga aarti

The headline experiences are white-water rafting on the Ganga, bungee jumping (India’s highest fixed platform at Mohanchatti), riverside camping, and the giant swing and flying fox. Add kayaking, cliff jumping, waterfall and Kunjapuri treks, and yoga for a fuller picture. We can bundle any combination into one trip.

September to June is the prime window — rafting, camping and treks all run, with pleasant weather. Rafting and riverside camping usually pause in the peak monsoon (July–August); bungee, yoga and most treks continue year-round, weather permitting.

Two days is enough for the headline mix — rafting, a camp night and the aarti, with a bungee add-on. Three days lets you add a Kunjapuri sunrise, a waterfall or Neelkanth trek and a yoga morning. Tell us your interests and we’ll pace it right.

Yes, with the right operators. We only book government-registered rafting operators and the established bungee site, all with certified guides, proper gear and safety briefings. As with any adventure sport there is inherent risk — follow instructions and declare any medical condition when you book.

Absolutely. There are gentle rafting stretches for children, the flying fox and giant swing for those who don’t want to bungee, and easy walks to waterfalls and viewpoints. We’ll match the activities to your group’s age and comfort.
