Rishikesh has long been a spiritual centre with tons of ashrams and temples.  An international yoga week is organized here every year by Uttarakhand Tourism between 2nd and 7th of February. 

Every soul finds peace at Rishikesh, the adventurous ones get opportunities for numerous adrenalinde inducing activities. 

The best things to do in Rishikesh are – 

GANGA AARTI

Ganga Aarti is organized and performed everyday by Vedic priests, particularly the children who are studying about the Vedas at Rishikesh. Aarti starts at 6 in the evening with chanting of some mantras, singing of bhajans, prayers. Sacred rituals take place around a fire to praise Agni, the god of fire. The fire spreads the positivity in the surroundings. You can sit calmly and fold your hands or join the singing Bhajans with them. Daily many pilgrims visit the Ganga aarti at Triveni Ghat.

RAFTING

Rafting at Rishikesh is done in the mighty Ganga river. While rafting at Rishikesh, participants guide and paddle a raft through falls and rapids. Rafting can be done in groups or an individual can join a group and steer the boat alongwith their new buddies.

Rishikesh is a great place for adventure bugs and a great way to amp up the adrenaline is by enjoying the activity of Rafting at Rishikesh.

GIANT SWING 

Giant swing at Rishikesh is a must do activity. The Jump for the swing is done from a Bungee Platform. One is fitted with a seat & chest harness for safety, the harness is connected to fixed wire ropes. Upon jumping, after an initial free fall, the ropes will smoothly swing you like a pendulum. 

Giant Swing is just like our beloved childhood swing except it’s more fun and you don’t have to fight to get on the swing.

YOGA

At Rishikesh, Yoga is observed as a practice of disciplining the body and the mind. In this process to achieve discipline,  one begins to understand the very nature of body and mind, especially mind. Rishikesh has numerous yoga schools which helps one with this science. 

Rishikesh also has a week dedicated to Yoga; the International Yoga Festival, it grows and expands embraces more and more people from more and more countries around the world. In 2019, they had over 2000 participants from over 80 countries. It is a place to connect with like-minded, conscious yogis and paradigm-shifters from every part of the world.

CAMPING 

Camping is a great way to unwind and give your eyes and mind a change of scenery from your regular chaos and cramps of city life. And what better place to camp than Rishikesh?

Rishikesh’s weather is nice throughout the year, one can go camping at Rishikesh all year round on Hilltops, plains and river banks.

TREKKING

Do you remember the last time you walked to some place but not in a hurry and without worry. Repeating the same things over and over makes Jack a dull boy who also happens to be stuck in a hamster wheel. 

Trekking at Rishikesh is an unforgettable experience. When trekking in and around Rishikesh, your eyes get to have amazing views and your body walks through varying levels of difficulty. From Rishikesh, one can trek to the Char Dhams, Chandrashila, Deoria Tal, Kanatal, Valley of Flowers and Kuari Pass.

BUNGEE JUMPING

Rishikesh boasts of challenging cliffs and adventure-perfect landscapes. Bungee jumping in Rishikesh is a must-try for people who love indulging in spine-chilling adventures. Bungee Jumping involves a person jumping from a great height while connected to a large elastic cord via a safety harness. When one jumps, the cord stretches and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord recoils. The thrill that comes from the free fall is both unbeatable and liberating.

FLYING FOX

The Flying Fox is an exhilarating adventure sport in Rishikesh. The adventure lets enthusiasts enjoy gravity and the full speed of air flow as you fly like a hawk in your secure harness. The views are more than awe-inspiring as you fly at top speed over the mountain range of Himalayas and the holy river Ganga.
