Rishikesh Riverside Camping
Overview
This rishikesh camping trip from mumbai takes you to the gateway of the Garhwal Himalayas and the world's yoga capital — India's ultimate adventure destination. The 4-day itinerary 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.
The journey from Mumbai is an overnight train to Haridwar, followed by a scenic 45-minute drive up the Ganga to Rishikesh.
Rishikesh sits on the banks of the holy Ganga as it flows out of the Himalayas, giving the town its unhurried, spiritual atmosphere. The river here is fast and clean, which is why rafting and cliff jumping work so well on this stretch. The town itself is dotted with ashrams, yoga studios, and riverside cafes, and most evenings end with the Ganga aarti. All rafting gear, life jackets, camping equipment, and safety briefings are provided, so even first-time adventurers can join with confidence. For those travelling from Mumbai, the overnight train keeps the journey simple — you sleep on the train and wake up in Haridwar, ready for the drive up the Ganga.
From the bonfire at night to the sound of the rapids in the morning, every moment on the private beach camp is memorable.
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.
