Why this package works
This 2N/3D Rishikesh Adventure package is focused, high-energy and travel-efficient: arrive late evening or early morning, spend a full day on rafting and adventure activities, sleep riverside under the stars, and return to Delhi refreshed — perfect for long weekends. The price is competitive for the inclusions and the operator vetting/safety is central to the plan.
Important Safety & Regulations (read before you book)
Life jackets and helmets are mandatory for rafting — your operator will provide government-approved safety gear. Always follow the guide’s instructions.
Minimum age varies by stretch: often 9 km has a lower minimum (12–14 yrs) while 16 km+ typically requires 14+ and greater fitness. Check when booking.
Bungee eligibility (Jumpin Heights): age 12–45 years, weight ~40–110 kg and a medical screening. Pregnant persons or those with heart/back issues are not allowed. Book the bungee slot in advance (limited daily slots).
Operators normally follow national safety standards, but always choose vetted companies — ask for guide certificates and equipment quality before boarding.
Best Time to Visit
March → June (spring/early summer): Prime rafting season — warm days and strong river flow, ideal for rapids.
September → November (autumn): Another excellent window — clear skies and stable flows.
July–August (monsoon): Not recommended for rafting — rivers swell and many stretches close for safety.
December–February (winter): Cold but possible — smaller rapids and quieter camps; bring warm gear.
