Camping in Rishikesh with River Rafting

Camping in Rishikesh with River Rafting Overview

Rishikesh is a well-known spiritual centre and one of the most sought-after adventure sports destinations. It is best known for being the most holistic place for Hindus; people from all over the world come to see the very famous Ganga aarti and experience the river rafting right by the bank where the Ganga aarti is held. It has its own charm. The city is like a magnet, and it attracts tourists from across the Globe, and it is well known for spiritual practice, meditation, and yoga. Not only Indians but foreigners also tag along for short yoga courses to find peace within themselves.

Rishikesh is well-known for its sports activities. White river rafting has become one of the most popular activities and has gained a lot of recognition from local visitors to tourists from all over the world. It is thus a pity that the gorgeous surroundings cannot be experienced while visiting the Holy Ganga. Byasi is a tiny hamlet located one hour and thirty-six minutes from Rishikesh on NH-58 towards Devprayag in Uttarakhand. It is well-known for its roadside cafes and the steady flow of the Ganga, which facilitates a smooth river rafting experience.

Rishikesh is a town in Uttarakhand’s Tehri Garhwal area on the drifts of the Ganges, India’s holy river. This historic city is supposed to have been founded in the 9th century and includes countless religious and mythological sites related to Lord Vishnu, Lord Bharat, and several renowned sages.
