3-Day Adventure Itinerary in Rishikesh for July 2023

  1. Day 1: Bungee Jumping at Jumpin Heights
    30 minutes (14.7km) from Rishikesh

    Start your adventure trip with an adrenaline rush! Jumpin Heights offers a 83-metre bungee jumping experience, which is the highest in India. The mornings are usually less crowded, so head there early to beat the queues. The experience provides an extraordinary view of the forest and river. After the jump, grab some snacks to refuel at the on-site cafe. In the afternoon, visit the Beatles Ashram, an abandoned spiritual center that was once visited by the Beatles in 1968. The ashram has striking graffiti walls and unique architecture. End the day with a Ganga Aarti ceremony, a Hindu prayer ritual that takes place every evening on the bank of the river Ganges, offering a serene and spiritual experience.

  2. Day 2: White Water Rafting and Kayaking at Marine Drive
    40 minutes (22.3km) from Jumpin Heights

    Get ready for an adventurous water experience today. Start the day at Marine Drive, where you can go white water rafting on the Ganges River. The rapids vary from grade II to IV, suitable for both beginners and experienced rafters. After lunch, try kayaking with a professional guide. The calm and green waters of the Ganges are perfect for this activity. In the evening, visit the Triveni Ghat, a popular bathing ghat where locals take a dip in the holy river and perform rituals. Witness the fascinating Ganga Aarti ceremony again, but this time on the auspicious ghat of Triveni.

  3. Day 3: Trek to Neer Garh Waterfall and Zip Lining at Shivpuri
    20 minutes (9.7km) from Marine Drive

The waterfall is perfect for a refreshing dip in the natural pool. After the trek, head to Shivpuri for a zip lining experience. The Flying Fox zip line is Asia's longest zip line, offering a thrilling and scenic ride across the river. In the evening, visit the Parmarth Niketan Ashram, a spiritual center for yoga and meditation. Attend a yoga or meditation class, or stroll around the peaceful gardens, enjoying the serene environment.
