Rishikesh is India’s adventure capital as much as its yoga capital. Here’s what’s on offer and how to choose.
Bungee jumping
The best-known bungee site is at Mohan Chatti, about 20 km from Tapovan, where a platform juts out over a rocky gorge. The same operators usually run a giant swing and a flying fox (a long zip-line). Operators set age, weight and health limits and need you to sign a waiver; follow the briefing exactly.
River rafting
The classic Rishikesh adventure, from the gentle 9 km Brahmapuri stretch to full-day trips from Kaudiyala. Our rafting guide compares them.
Kayaking, cliff jumping and more
- Kayaking courses run on calmer stretches for beginners.
- Cliff jumping and body surfing are often part of longer rafting trips.
- Treks and hikes to waterfalls and temples: see waterfalls near Rishikesh and treks from Rishikesh.
Safety checklist
- Book with licensed operators; ask to see equipment and certificates.
- Don’t do activities after alcohol or a heavy meal.
- Tell the operator about any medical condition.
We book trusted operators for guests; send us your dates or look at the Adventure Weekend.
