Rishikesh – Every Adventurer’s Destination
Jump off a cliff, ride your way up on a mountain on a bike or splash your way down on a raft or a kayak: Rishikesh, which is blessed with the perfect topography is an ideal destination for adventure sports. And the sheer number of adrenaline junkies who throng to the city year after year to experience their share of thrill is testimony to its ever growing popularity that rightfully earns it the tag of being India’s adventure hub.
Peddling your way down the gushing white waters of the river Ganga, that descends from the mountains and flows through the rugged terrains of Rishikesh, is a favourite amongst both novices and professionals alike. Rafting through the swift water currents that flow through class 3 and 4 rapids is such a compelling experience that you’ll be left craving for more.
If that was not enough adventure for you, you could simply try jumping off from a height, scream your way down and bounce back up with the suspensions or you could also get harnessed and rappel your way up a steep rocky mountain wearing a head gear and a pair of gloves. And after an exciting day, you could choose to camp at the foothills of the towering Himalayas and enjoy a bonfire at the riverside.
Staying with the locals at their humble abode is an experience that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Such is the hospitality of the people of rural Rajasthan who believe in making the most out of whatever little they have. And at the end of the day, as the sun goes down in all its glory, the villages’ folklore will mesmerize you like you never could have imagined!

“While the rafting experience remains my favorite adventure sport, flying fox was something I discovered in my recent visit to Rishikesh. Just imagine, I was gliding down the zip line over the rapids of the Ganges and the stunning sceneries.”

“I spent an entire evening at the Samode village singing and dancing with the locals in their colourful traditional attire. I even tried the Chari dance with a pot on my head. Yes, a definite must try for everyone!”
Rural Rajasthan
Bright, traditional, rustic yet soulful – that is rural Rajasthan for you! Considering the chaotic and busy lives we live, visiting the interiors of the state will make you realize how meditatively beautiful life is beyond the hustle bustle of the cities.
While the desert state is considered a perfect embodiment of richness and royalty, it also offers a much humble sight of a Persian wheel irrigating the lush fields in its rural areas. A group of traditionally dressed women, carrying clay pots on their heads, walking down the dust roads and turban-clad men with majestic mustaches sweating it out in the fields, is a common sight that you will see as you drive through the state. And they do it so effortlessly without any trace of discomfort that, it will not just inspire you but will make you appreciate the simplistic beauty of life.
