Quick answer
A 4-day Rishikesh adventure package includes a riverside camp at Shivpuri, 16 km of Grade II–III rafting from Shivpuri to Rishikesh, a Kunjapuri temple sunrise, a Neer Garh waterfall hike and the Triveni Ghat aarti. It costs from ₹10,500 per person, and September to June is the rafting season.
Trip Overview
Rishikesh is the easiest Himalayan escape from Delhi. This four-day plan sleeps one night at a riverside camp at Shivpuri, rafts 16 km of Grade II–III rapids back to town, and fills the rest with a Kunjapuri sunrise, the Neer Garh waterfall hike and the Ganga aarti at Triveni Ghat.
Everything is set up for groups of friends: a safety briefing, certified guides and a safety kayaker, helmets and life jackets, and optional bungee or giant swing at Mohan Chatti. You don't need to swim to raft, and group prices drop at six and ten travellers.
