Whether you are an amateur or a professional, Rishikesh provides rafting opportunities for everyone. A perfect balance between the mind and body is required for taming the roaring water of the Holy Ganges and meandering their ways through the mountains. With its serene and breathtaking scenery, I would not be wrong if I call it a heaven for river rafting.

The river rafting season in Rishikesh starts from February to June and from September to November when the river is neither too placid nor too wild. Rishikesh which is about 257 km from Delhi, is well connected to most of Northern India by road, the nearest railway station being Haridwar while the nearest airport is the Jolly Grant Airport at Dehradun. Some good places in Rishikesh for river rafting are Brahmapuri, Marine Drive, KirtiNagar, Kaudiyala, Devprayag and Rudraprayag. Here the rafting camps are well equipped. Besides camping facilities, you are also provided professional guides and best quality equipment and rafting gear. The rafting rapids are given different names thus making it easy to recognize them. The rafting distance is about 36 km starting from Kaudiyala ...
... to Rishikesh and has 12 main rapids. The river route makes it way past riverside temples under the Lakshman Jhoola. An add-on feature of river rafting in Rishikesh is that you can see the densely forested Himalayas at close quarters. Every raft can accommodate about 7-9 persons depending on the size but you feel like the proud owner of the raft once you are in the river. It does not exert you physically but at the same time you enjoy every moment of it.

The price of river rafting at Rishikesh can differ based on the nature of camps you opt for. An average starting rate for rafting is about Rs 1500 per individual.
