And the sheer number of adrenaline junkies who throng to the city year after year to experience their share of thrill is testimony to its ever growing popularity that rightfully earns it the tag of being India’s adventure hub.
Peddling your way down the gushing white waters of the river Ganga, that descends from the mountains and flows through the rugged terrains of Rishikesh, is a favourite amongst both novices and professionals alike. Rafting through the swift water currents that flow through class 3 and 4 rapids is such a compelling experience that you’ll be left craving for more.

And after an exciting day, you could choose to camp at the foothills of the towering Himalayas and enjoy a bonfire at the riverside.
