Rishikesh

The Ganges exits the Himalayas here, drawing yoga schools, whitewater rafters, and pilgrims to suspension bridges draped in prayer flags.

Closed-toe shoes are mandatory for rafting; respect alcohol bans in holy zones. Neelkanth Mahadev and Rajaji National Park extend nature time. October–April balances flow and weather; monsoon suspends many rapids. Choose registered adventure operators with safety briefings. Combine with Haridwar’s larger aarti or Mussoorie’s hills for variety.
