Arrive at Haridwar or Dehradun in the morning and enjoy a short drive (1–2 hours) to Rishikesh. On arrival, check into a scenic riverside camp nestled along the banks of the Ganges. After some time to relax and acclimate, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink and attend a short orientation session about the upcoming activities and safety procedures. In the evening, take a walk along the river, watch the sunset, and unwind by the bonfire with music and a traditional vegetarian dinner.
The day kicks off with a thrilling white-water rafting expedition on the Ganges. Depending on your comfort and skill level, choose between 9 km, 16 km, or 24 km routes — tackling Grade II to Grade IV rapids such as “Roller Coaster”, “Three Blind Mice”, and “Golf Course.” Midway, stop for cliff jumping and body surfing in the crystal-clear waters. After rafting, return to camp for lunch and some free time. The evening is open for rest, river dips, or games around the campfire.
After breakfast, set out on a guided nature trek through the forests surrounding Rishikesh. The trail leads to a hidden waterfall where you can relax, swim, or enjoy a packed lunch. Later, head back to your camp or hotel. In the evening, visit Rishikesh town for a walk across the iconic Laxman Jhula, explore local cafés, or experience the spiritual Ganga Aarti ceremony at Triveni Ghat — a truly mesmerizing cultural highlight.
Start the day with an optional early morning yoga and meditation session by the river, led by a certified instructor — the perfect way to recharge your body and mind. After breakfast, enjoy optional adventure activities like rock climbing, rappelling, zip-lining, or kayaking (depending on availability and fitness level). Return to the camp for lunch and a relaxed afternoon. The evening may feature a short talk on river conservation or Himalayan culture.
On the final day, enjoy a relaxed breakfast amidst nature. After check-out, you’ll be driven back to Haridwar or Dehradun to catch your onward train or flight. With your heart full of memories and adrenaline still high, you’ll leave Rishikesh with unforgettable stories of adventure, nature, and self-discovery.
