Rafting in Rishikesh: Rafting Season in Rishikesh
Rishikesh is very popular for its rafting on the River Ganga (Ganges). The suitable period for river running depends on the adequacy of water volume. Thus September-November and March-April-May are most appropriate. The rafting will go on for several kilometres, and the path is interspersed with rapids, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5, in order of difficulty. At the end of the trip, you have the option of jumping some 20 feet from a ledge into the water. There are several local travel agencies, offering these rafting trips. The package usually includes an overnight camp on the banks of the river, with a brilliant and dangerous trek among the hills in the morning. If one has time, courses in rafting are also offered.
