Read on to learn more about adventure and sporting activities in Rishikesh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rishikesh has an interesting history dating back to ancient times. The name itself \u201clord of the senses\u201d is taken after Lord Vishnu appeared under a mango tree to Rishi Raibhya. It is also associated with Lord Rama who performed penance here in repentance for his sin of killing Lord Ravana, a Brahmin. His brother too is associated with this place and the Lakshman Jhula Bridge commemorates his memory. Located on the banks of the Ganga, Rishikesh is considered a holy city and is the entry port to\u00a0the popular Char Dham Yatra\u00a0that draws millions of devotees each year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Reaching_Rishikesh\" >Reaching Rishikesh<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Adventure_and_sports_in_Rishikesh\" >Adventure and sports in Rishikesh<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#White_Water_Rafting_and_Water_Sports\" >White Water Rafting and Water Sports<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Body_Surfing_and_Cliff_Jumping\" >Body Surfing and Cliff Jumping<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Rappelling_and_Rock_Climbing\" >Rappelling and Rock Climbing<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Trekking\" >Trekking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Flying_Fox\" >Flying Fox<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Bungee_Jumping\" >Bungee Jumping<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/adventure-sporting-activities-in-rishikesh\/#Hot_Air_Ballooning_and_Parasailing\" >Hot Air Ballooning and Parasailing<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reaching_Rishikesh\"><\/span><strong>Reaching Rishikesh<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Rishikesh is a major city in Uttarakhand, well connected to the rest of\u00a0India\u00a0by road, rail, and by air with the nearest airport being Dehradun, only\u00a015 kilometers\u00a0away.<\/li>\n<li>By road: You can take a car or private taxi from\u00a0Delhi\u00a0and reach the city in about 6 hours.

Beginners can try the calmer stretches while advanced players can opt for the more turbulent sections. All in all, it lifts up your spirit as you and your team members are tumbled about and battle the might of the turbulent river or enjoy a peaceful ride. For a more breathtaking activity go canyoning between steeply rising gorges farther afield. Kayaking is a twin to water rafting and is more of an individual effort as you try to manage your boat in the swirling rapids. The choice is yours.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Body_Surfing_and_Cliff_Jumping\"><\/span><strong>Body Surfing and Cliff Jumping<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"329\" data-end=\"500\">\n<li data-start=\"329\" data-end=\"371\"><strong data-start=\"331\" data-end=\"343\">Activity<\/strong>: Ride the Ganges\u2019 currents.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"375\" data-end=\"417\"><strong data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"387\">Cliffs<\/strong>: Jump for a thrilling splash.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"421\" data-end=\"457\"><strong data-start=\"423\" data-end=\"433\">Safety<\/strong>: Life jackets required.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"500\"><strong data-start=\"463\" data-end=\"477\">Best Spots<\/strong>: Rishikesh riverbanks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Body-Surfing-and-Cliff-Jumping-Rishikesh.jpg\" alt=\"Body Surfing and Cliff Jumping, Rishikesh\" width=\"900\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Body-Surfing-and-Cliff-Jumping-Rishikesh.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Body-Surfing-and-Cliff-Jumping-Rishikesh-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Body-Surfing-and-Cliff-Jumping-Rishikesh-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dehraduncarrental.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Body-Surfing-and-Cliff-Jumping-Rishikesh-870x551.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Body surfing is another sporting activity that is catching popularity like wildfire.
