Rishikesh, located in the state of Uttarakhand, is often referred to as the “Rafting Capital of India.” It is a popular destination for adventure enthusiasts and spiritual seekers alike. Rishikesh is situated in the foothills of the Himalayas, where the holy Ganges River flows through scenic valleys and rapids, providing excellent opportunities for river rafting.
The rafting stretch in Rishikesh starts from Shivpuri, which is about 16 kilometers upstream from the town. The river offers different grades of rapids, ranging from easy to challenging, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced rafters. Some of the famous rapids in this stretch include Roller Coaster, Golf Course, and Double Trouble.
Apart from rafting, Rishikesh is also known for its ashrams, yoga centers, and spiritual ambiance. Visitors can explore the famous suspension bridge, known as Laxman Jhula, and attend the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti (a devotional ritual) held at the Triveni Ghat.
Rishikesh’s unique blend of adventure and spirituality has made it a sought-after destination for both domestic and international tourists.
