Rishikesh Riverside Camping from Mumbai

Overview

Rishikesh — the gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas and the world's yoga capital — is also India's ultimate adventure destination. This 4-day trip combines the thrill of white-water rafting on the Ganga with the serenity of riverside camping and mountain trekking.

Raft through Class III-IV rapids on the Ganga (Shivpuri to Rishikesh stretch), camp on a private beach by the river, cliff-jump into crystal-clear pools, and trek to hidden waterfalls. Between adventures, explore the iconic Laxman Jhula and the Beatles Ashram.

Based in Uttarakhand, this moderate 4-day trek is best attempted during September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.

FAQs

How do I reach Rishikesh from Mumbai?

We travel by overnight train from Mumbai to Haridwar, followed by a 45-minute scenic drive along the Ganga to Rishikesh. Train details are shared after booking.

Is the rafting safe for non-swimmers?

Yes — safety is our top priority. Life jackets are mandatory and fitted before the rafting session. Each raft has a trained guide. The most challenging rapids can be portaged (avoided) for nervous participants. Non-swimmers have rafted safely on every trip.

What is the best time for rafting in Rishikesh?

September to May is the rafting season. September-November and March-May offer the best water levels for exciting rapids. Monsoon (June-August) has limited rafting due to high water levels. Winter mornings can be chilly — wet suits are provided.

What is the camping experience like?

We camp on a private beach by the Ganga — spacious tents with mattresses, sleeping bags, and blankets. Hot meals are cooked on-site. Toilets are basic but clean. The bonfire by the river at night is the highlight.

Can I extend and do the Yoga/Jim Corbett visit?

Yes! Rishikesh is the yoga capital — we can add a morning yoga session. If you have extra days, a Corbett National Park day trip is easy to arrange from Rishikesh.
