Experience River Rafting@ Rishikesh
Bumpy rides braving the extreme water currents along the Ganges is what makes Rishikesh a unique river rafting zone for the high spirited & keeps the adrenaline flowing.
Such an adventure amidst the beautiful mountain landscape of the Himalayas makes it a wonderful time spent with nature.
River rafting happens mainly in the upper ranges where the water is ‘rough and white’ as it froths and foams, hitting against narrow chasms, rocky ridges and cascades at deep gradients.
How to reach Rishikesh
Distance from major cities: Delhi: 245 kms | Chandigarh: 230 kms | Haridwar: 35 kms | Dehradun: 55 kms
The topography of Rishikesh resembles an intricate maze of Mountain Rivers flowing through a potpourri of colorful rocky canyons, forests, offering moderate to bumpy rapids (upto grade IV) across the course of the Ganges. The rides originate from 4 major points – Bramhapuri (9km), Shivpuri (16km), Marine Drive (24km), Kaudiyala (32km) and ends at Rishikesh.

Completely personalized and fun-filled. GetUpAndGo’s river rafting package in Rishikesh follows good safety norms and keeps everyone coming back for more.
Went rafting on the Ganges with my wife with Getupandgo. The experience was exhilarating and the guides were really good. Will definitely recommend rafting with getupandgo and look forward to doing more trips with them.
