Destination

Nestled in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, Rishikesh is a small town in Uttarakhand. It has always been a spiritual hub, drawing devotees from India and from around the world to its temples and ghats. However, in recent years, Rishikesh has also become a hub for adventure sports. The Ganges, flowing down from the mountains, gushes through Rishikesh, creating some of the best rafting in India. With India's highest bungee platform being set up, and multiple iconic Himalayan treks starting from Rishikesh, this city is on its way to becoming the adventure capital of India.
