Let’s dive into the top 10 adventure activities in Rishikesh and how to enjoy them with ease.
1. Rafting & Camping
White-water rafting on the Ganga is a must-do. You’ll go through rapids, float between mountains, and feel the rush of water and wind. After that, enjoy riverside camping with bonfires, music, and stargazing.
Fun fact: Rishikesh has rafting stretches from 9 km to 36 km, depending on how wild you want it.
Tip: Go for morning rafting and end your day at a riverside campsite. We’ll handle your pick-up and drop-off.
Must do: Try cliff jumping during the rafting stretch and enjoy a bonfire night by the river.
2. Flying Safari
This is a light aircraft ride that takes you high above Rishikesh, giving you a bird’s-eye view of the Ganga and the green hills.
Fun fact: It’s one of the newest and most exciting ways to see Rishikesh from the sky.
Tip: Go in the early morning for the best weather and clear views.
Must do: Take photos from above with the Ganga winding below your feet.
3. Paragliding
Soar like a bird with nothing but a parachute above and the Ganga below. It’s peaceful, thrilling, and unforgettable.
Fun fact: Paragliding spots around Rishikesh offer views of both mountains and rivers.
Tip: Wear snug clothes and closed shoes. We’ll arrange your travel and time slot.
Must do: Ask for a GoPro video to capture your flight.
4. Zip Lining
Fly over the Ganga on one of India’s longest zip lines. It’s fast, safe, and gives you a clear view of the river and valley.
Fun fact: The zip line here covers over 700 meters and reaches speeds up to 60 km/h.
Tip: Go with a buddy for a twin ride and double the fun.
Must do: Raise your hands mid-air and feel the rush.
5. Bungee Jump
Jump from India’s highest fixed bungee platform (83 meters) straight into a rocky gorge. Not for the faint-hearted.
Fun fact: This is the first platform-based bungee in India, built with New Zealand technology.
Tip: Book in advance. Our taxi service can take you right to the jump zone.
Must do: Scream out loud. It helps!
6. Giant Swing
Think of a huge pendulum swinging across the valley. You freefall first, then swing across the mountains. Pure thrill.
Fun fact: You’re tied from the waist instead of the feet, so it feels more like a giant ride.
Tip: You can do it solo or in a pair.
Must do: Try it right after bungee for double excitement.
7. Scad Jump
This is a vertical freefall, like a sudden drop straight down. But don’t worry—it’s totally safe with a controlled setup.
Fun fact: This is the only Scad Jump setup in India as of now.
Tip: Don’t overthink it. Just jump!
Must do: Keep your eyes open during the fall for the full experience.
8. Reverse Bungee
Get pulled down, then shot up into the sky like a rocket. It’s short but super intense.
Fun fact: This ride is also known as the slingshot.
Tip: Avoid heavy meals before this one.
Must do: Try it at night when the lights make it look even more exciting.
9. Go Kart
Race your friends or family on the go-kart tracks in Rishikesh. A perfect mix of speed, fun, and competition.
Fun fact: Rishikesh has smooth, safe tracks with decent lap timing features.
Tip: Wear sneakers and tie your hair back if long.
Must do: Take on a 5-lap challenge with your group.
10. Sky Swinger
This is a high-flying swing ride that spins 360 degrees with full valley views. Great for thrill lovers who don’t want the full bungee experience.

Must do: Sit on the outermost seat for the best thrill.
