Uttarakhand: Rishikesh Ganga Whitewater Rafting

Experience the thrill of whitewater rafting on the sacred Ganga River as it flows through the Himalayan foothills around Rishikesh. The activity begins at the designated rafting base or launch point, where participants complete registration and meet their professional rafting guide. Before entering the river, the guide provides a safety briefing covering paddling techniques, river commands, emergency procedures and correct use of the safety equipment. Participants are provided with a helmet, life jacket and paddle before boarding the raft. Depending on the selected rafting stretch, the journey can include exciting rapids, calmer river sections and scenic stretches surrounded by forested Himalayan hills. The Shivpuri–Rishikesh stretch is one of the most popular options and covers approximately 11 kilometres, while longer routes can be selected for a more challenging experience. Throughout the rafting journey, the professional guide controls navigation and gives instructions to the group as the raft approaches each rapid. After completing the selected river section, participants disembark at the designated endpoint and return their equipment. The experience is ideal for adventure seekers, friends, groups and travellers looking for an exciting outdoor experience in Rishikesh.
