Rishikesh — 4 Nights / 5 Days Tour
Uttarakhand · River town — Rishikesh does two things at once and does both well: it is a serious centre for yoga and Ganga ritual, and it is the white-water rafting capital of North India. The two coexist more comfortably than you would expect. The Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan each evening is the quieter, more welcoming counterpart to Haridwar's larger ceremony. Rafting runs roughly September to June and stops entirely during the monsoon when the river is unsafe — anyone promising a monsoon raft is either lying or reckless. Two nights covers the ghats, the bridges and one river day; three or four suits anyone doing a yoga course or wanting to walk up to the waterfalls. This 4-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Questions
Package FAQs
When can I raft in Rishikesh?
Roughly September to June. The river closes during the monsoon because it is genuinely dangerous, and any operator offering monsoon rafting should be avoided entirely.
Is alcohol available in Rishikesh?
No. Rishikesh is a dry, vegetarian town by law and custom, and this is enforced.
Rishikesh or Haridwar for the Ganga Aarti?
Haridwar's at Har Ki Pauri is larger and more intense; Rishikesh's at Parmarth Niketan is smaller and easier for a first visit. Many people do both — they are 25 km apart.
Is this a fixed itinerary or can it be customised?
It is a flexible framework built around Rishikesh's key sights. The exact day-by-day plan, specific hotels and final inclusions are tailored to your dates, pace and party at the quotation stage — add nights, nearby destinations or activities as you wish.
How is the price calculated?
On enquiry. We price your exact party, dates, hotel category and inclusions rather than publish an average that changes the moment you ask. A consultant replies within one working day; no payment is required for a quote.
How do we get there and get around?
Rishikesh is served by Jolly Grant (DED), 21 km (rail: Haridwar, 25 km). All local transfers and sightseeing are by private air-conditioned car; flights or trains can be added to your quote.
