Rishikesh Adventure 2-Day Itinerary (July 2023)

  1. Day 1: Shivpuri
    20 minutes (6.8 miles) from Rishikesh

    Start the day early and head to Shivpuri, a hub for water sports enthusiasts. Begin with a 16-kilometer rafting adventure on the Ganges River, where you will encounter rapids ranging from grade II to grade IV. After a thrilling morning on the river, enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing with a 2-hour trek up to the beautiful Neer Garh Waterfall. The trek takes you through lush forests and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills. End the day with a relaxing evening yoga session overlooking the Ganges.

  2. Day 2: Jumpin Heights and Beatles Ashram
    30 minutes (9.2 miles) from Shivpuri

    Get your adrenaline pumping with a visit to Jumpin Heights, Asia's highest and India's first fixed-platform bungee jumping spot. After this heart-pounding experience, head to the Beatles Ashram, also known as Chaurasi Kutia, which was once the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi where the Beatles stayed in 1968. The ashram is now abandoned and covered in street art, making it a popular spot for photography. End the day with a sunset hike to the top of Kunjapuri Temple, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Himalayan mountains.

Recommendations
