Today, the adventure level goes back up!

This morning, we will go whitewater rafting on the Ganges (optional). With professional river guides leading the way, we will paddle through rapids surrounded by forested hills and Himalayan foothill scenery. This is the clean, mountain-fed stretch of the Ganges, and being on the river here is one of the best ways to experience Rishikesh.

In the afternoon, we will have time to enjoy the local markets and cafés. Rishikesh has a relaxed traveler atmosphere, with rooftop cafés, river views, little shops, yoga studios, ashrams, and plenty of places to simply sit and take it all in.

In the evening, we will walk to a quiet spot along the river for sunset. The Ganges glows in golden light, and the surrounding hills shift into shades of orange, purple, and blue.
