Trekking is a must
Rishikesh is placed in a picturesque valley surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers, making it perfect for an excellent trek. You can take a trek to Himalaya’s base or other places such as Gangotri, Kedarnath, or Badrinath, which are just as beautiful. We would recommend our Himachal Wonder Tour Package for the best trekking experience.
Jump down a cliff
No, you are not committing suicide. Instead, you are jumping down into the Holy Ganga while wearing a harness from a cliff at 20 or 50 feet. Still, this activity is not for the plump-hearted. So show your inner daredevil to the world under supervision at Rishikesh.

Ganga is one of our holiest rivers, so Pujaris perform the aarti at Triveni Ghat to show devotion and respect our people’s belief and show respect Ganga maa.
