Two Days of Adventure in Rishikesh in June 2023

  1. Day 1: Bungee Jumping at Jumpin Heights
    45 minutes (14.5 miles) from Rishikesh

    Get ready for an adrenaline-packed morning at the Jumpin Heights, India's highest bungee jumping platform. After a safety briefing, you will be securely harnessed and jump off the platform, free-falling for a few seconds before bouncing back. After a few jumps, you can also try the giant swing or zip-lining.

    In the afternoon, head to Shivpuri for white water rafting on the Ganges. The river has grade III and grade IV rapids, so you can expect an exciting ride. You will also have the opportunity to swim and relax on the sandy beaches along the riverbank.

    In the evening, head to Triveni Ghat for a Ganga Aarti ceremony. Devotees offer prayers to the Ganges, accompanied by chanting and music. Watch the lamps float on the river, creating a peaceful and magical atmosphere.

  2. Day 2: Trek to Neer Garh Waterfall
    30 minutes (6.5 miles) from Rishikesh

    Spend the morning trekking to Neer Garh Waterfall, located in the Rajaji National Park. The trail is moderately challenging, with some steep ascents and descents. You will walk through the lush forest, with the sounds of the birds and the river for company. Once you reach the waterfall, take a dip in the refreshing pool and enjoy the stunning view.

    After the trek, head to the Beatles Ashram, also known as the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram. The ashram was once a meditation center, and the Beatles stayed here in 1968 to learn Transcendental Meditation. Walk through the graffiti-covered ruins and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

    In the evening, attend a sound healing session at the Ayurpak wellness center. Lie down and relax as the vibrations from the Tibetan singing bowls and gongs wash over you, reducing stress and promoting healing.

Recommendations

If you have time, consider visiting the Rajaji National Park for a wildlife safari or the Vashishta Gufa ashram for a spiritual experience. You can also try other adventure activities such as flying fox, kayaking, or mountain biking. To maximize your fun, book in advance and arrive early to avoid the crowds. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes and carry sunscreen and water.
