Fun, Adventure and Lifestyle Experience at Rishikesh

Participating in an adventure holiday in Rishikesh means that you will be doing activities such as camping, bungee jumping and fox flying. Yoga and meditation are some of the other options. You can also enjoy volleyball, badminton, cricket, and team games like raft building, musical chairs, and passing the ball. These activities allow you to meet other people from the camp. Based on their difficulty in manoeuvrability, rapids can be classified as Grade I through VI. However, Rishikesh has rapids that only grade V. If you are not very good at swimming, do not try rafting in rapids above grade II.

• Grade I rapids are the easiest to navigate due to their mild current and low risk.

• Grade II rapids are rapids in which obstacles are distinguished and allow for clear passage.

• Grade III Rapids can be pretty technical and require many judgments.

• Grade IV rapids are the most thrilling part of river rafting, but they can be tough to navigate. 

• Grade V Rapids can be pretty dangerous. Only the most fortunate will make it through.

• Grade VI Rapids refer to those who are considered suicidal because they are challenging to maneuver.
