Rishikesh: From aerial thrills to river rushes, this Himalayan haven will test your limits and reward you with stories for life

There’s a certain serenity to Rishikesh, the hymns of the Ganges, the saffron-clad sadhus, the scent of burning camphor. But step away from the ghats, and you’ll find another side of this spiritual town: one that’s wild, untamed, and pure adrenaline.Tucked into the Himalayan foothills and laced by turbulent rivers and deep gorges, Rishikesh has quietly become India’s undisputed adventure capital. Whether you’re leaping off a cliff, soaring over the valley, or navigating rapids, the energy here is electric.
