About this trip
Rishikesh covers two very different moods in one trip: white water rafting and bungee-adjacent adventure sports during the day, and the Ganga ghats, evening aarti and a genuinely calmer pace once the sun sets.
It's one of our most requested college and corporate trips, mainly because the adventure activities give a group something to actually do together, not just sightsee.
How to reach: About 5 to 6 hours by road from Delhi, making it a solid weekend trip. Nearest airport is Dehradun's Jolly Grant.
Trip highlights
- White water rafting on the Ganga
- Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula

Questions people actually ask
We usually build a rafting session into the core itinerary since it's the main reason most groups choose Rishikesh, with bigger add-ons like bungee priced separately.
Yes, the mix of one adventure activity and a genuinely relaxing setting makes it a strong short offsite option, especially from Delhi NCR.
About 5 to 6 hours by road, which makes it doable as a long weekend without eating into too much leave.
