About River Rafting in Rishikesh

Rishikesh is known as the Adventure Capital of India, and river rafting is one of the main attractions here. The city is located on the banks of the Ganges River, surrounded by hills and forests. The strong currents of the river make it a perfect place for rafting. Many people who book Chaardham Yatra packages also explore Rishikesh for adventure activities like rafting, camping, and bungee jumping.


Rafting in Rishikesh is available for everyone, whether you are a beginner or have experience. The rafting routes have different difficulty levels, ranging from easy to challenging. Some of the famous rafting stretches include Brahmpuri, Shivpuri, Marine Drive, and Kaudiyala. The best time for river rafting is from September to June, as the monsoon season (July and August) makes rafting unsafe. Apart from adventure, rafting in Rishikesh also offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas and holy ghats along the river.
