Experience Rishikesh,
like never before.
Adventure, spiritual, wellness, nature, and lifestyle: most trips end up weaving through all five. We’ve broken down what’s actually inside each one, so your host builds your days around what you react to, not a fixed route.
Some places you visit. Rishikesh, you absorb.
Everything you can do
in Rishikesh
Rafting mornings, temple evenings, sound baths, pottery wheels. Every moment on this page can be part of your trip, inside a package or on your own terms.
6:00 AM · 1 hrSunrise Yoga & Breathwork by the Ganga
Start the day with gentle yoga, mindful breathing, and the peaceful sounds of the river waking up beside you. All levels welcome, your teacher adapts everything.
7:30 AM · 30 minSacred Ganga Dip at Freedom Ghat
A five-minute walk across Laxman Jhula from Sai Ghat to Freedom Ghat for the dip: bracing, humbling, unforgettable.
9:00 AM – 12:00 PMBeatles Ashram
The graffiti-covered meditation domes where the Beatles wrote much of the White Album in 1968, now overgrown, covered in mural art, and one of the quietest walks in Rishikesh.
9:00 AM – 12:00 PMSecret Waterfall
A short hike out of town to a quiet fall most visitors never reach, with a natural pool at the base, good for a swim when the water is warm enough.
1:00 – 4:00 PMWhite Water Rafting
Take on the rapids of the Ganga with experienced, safety-first guides. Cold spray, big laughs, and the best kind of adrenaline.
5:00 – 7:00 PMGanga Aarti
Witness the spiritual heart of Rishikesh as the evening prayers illuminate the river. Your host knows exactly where to stand, close enough to feel the warmth of the flames.
4:00 – 8:00 AMKunjapuri Sunrise
A 4:00 AM drive into the hills, chai at the top, and then the first rays of sunlight illuminating the Himalayan peaks. The early alarm is worth it, every single time.
9:00 AM – 12:00 PMNeer Waterfall
Chase a waterfall with your local host, or wander the graffiti-covered domes of the Beatles Ashram. Pick one, your host handles the rest.
Everything else Rishikesh does.
None of these are inside a trip, and we are not going to pretend they are. Tell us which one and your dates, and we come back with whether it is running and what it costs, before you owe anything.
Bungee jumping, 83 metres
Half a day · Adventure
India's best-known jump, on a cantilever arm out over the gorge near Mohan Chatti. About three seconds of falling.
Ask about thisBungee jumping, 219 metres
A whole day, three hours each way · Adventure
The highest in India, at Devprayag, above the point where the Ganga becomes the Ganga. Long enough on the way down to have a second thought.
Ask about thisGiant swing
Half a day · Adventure
A free fall into a long arc across the gorge, at the same site as the 83-metre jump. Most people find it more frightening than the jump and easier to say yes to.
Ask about thisFlying fox
Half a day · Adventure
A long, fast zip across the valley. The one for somebody in the group who wants the view without the drop.
Ask about thisRafting, 26 km from Marine Drive
Three hours or so · Adventure
Grade III. For people who have rafted before and want the bigger water without losing the whole day.
Ask about thisRafting, 36 km from Kaudiyala
Most of a day · Adventure
Grade IV, the hardest rapids on this river. Confident swimmers only.
Ask about thisThe three-day rafting expedition
Three days, two nights · Adventure
Seventy kilometres of the Ganga, Devprayag down to Rishikesh, camping on the sand at Kaudiyala and Shivpuri. Twenty-odd rapids, Grade II to IV. Closed through the monsoon and needs arranging well ahead.
Ask about thisWaterfall treks
Half a day · Nature
The forest walk in to a fall with nobody at it, and back out. Hardest and best right after the monsoon clears.
Ask about thisSCAD jump
Half a day · Adventure
A free fall with no cord at all. You are released, and a net catches you. Nothing to pull you back, which is the entire point of it.
Ask about thisReverse bungee
Under an hour · Adventure
The opposite of a jump. You are launched upward from the ground rather than dropped from a tower.
Ask about thisRope bungee
Half a day · Adventure
A rope swing from the tower instead of a bungee cord. Less rebound, more arc, and a gentler way in for anybody unsure about the jump.
Ask about thisFree-style bungee
Half a day · Adventure
The same tower, except you choose how you leave the platform rather than stepping off forwards.
Ask about thisSky cycling
Under an hour · Adventure
Pedalling a bicycle along a cable, well above the ground, with nothing under the wheels.
Ask about thisWe do not run these ourselves. We arrange them with operators we already use, on a day built around them. If something is closed, out of season or we would not put you on it, we say so instead of taking the booking. Ask us anything. A person answers, usually within the hour.

around your time here.
