Stay Close to the Ganga. Step Into Adventure.
Rishikesh has two very different sides – and the best trips often bring them together.
One moment you can be sitting quietly beside the Ganga, and the next you can be preparing for an exciting outdoor experience.
At Hotel River Heaven, we make a comfortable base for travellers who want to explore the adventurous side of Rishikesh while returning to a peaceful place to relax afterwards.
From river rafting and trekking to exploring the natural surroundings of Rishikesh, our team can help you plan your adventure around your stay.
Experience the Adventurous Side of Rishikesh
Rishikesh is widely known for its outdoor experiences, especially river rafting and adventure activities around the Ganga and the Himalayan foothills.
But an adventure trip isn’t only about the activity itself.
It is also about having a convenient place to stay, knowing what to expect, planning your day properly and having somewhere comfortable to return to afterwards.
That’s where Hotel River Heaven fits into your Rishikesh adventure.
River Rafting in Rishikesh
For many travellers, river rafting in Rishikesh is one of the highlights of visiting the city.
The Ganga offers a dramatic setting for an outdoor experience, combining flowing water, mountain landscapes and the natural beauty of the region.
If rafting is part of your travel plans, our team can help you understand the practical arrangements available for your stay and guide you towards appropriate local options.
Because rafting conditions and operator availability can vary, we recommend confirming the details before booking.
Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh
For travellers looking for a bigger adrenaline rush, Rishikesh is home to India’s highest fixed-platform bungee jump, located at Mohanchatti, around 17–25 km from Rishikesh/Tapovan. The jump platform sits at approximately 83 meters over a rocky river valley, and the experience along with options like the flying fox and giant swing has become one of the signature adventure activities in the region.
If your Rishikesh itinerary includes a day for adventure sports, bungee jumping pairs well with a morning waterfall hike, before you head back to unwind by the Ganga in the evening.
Trekking & Exploring Rishikesh
Rishikesh is surrounded by forests, hills and natural landscapes that make it an excellent base for travellers who enjoy walking and exploring outdoors.
Depending on your interests and the conditions during your visit, you can explore local trails, viewpoints and nearby natural attractions.
Kunjapuri Temple Trek
A popular sunrise trek, Kunjapuri Devi Temple sits at an altitude of around 1,645 meters above Rishikesh. On a clear morning, the climb rewards you with views of Himalayan peaks including Swargarohini, Gangotri and Chaukhamba many travellers start before dawn specifically to catch the sunrise from the temple.
Neelkanth Mahadev Temple Trek
A trek that combines adventure with spirituality, the route to Neelkanth Mahadev Temple starts from the Garud Chatti area and passes through forest trails and small streams before reaching the temple, situated at around 1,800 meters. It’s one of the more unique treks near Rishikesh, ending at a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Neer Garh Waterfall Hike
One of the easier hikes near Rishikesh, the trail to Neer Garh Waterfall starts near Lakshman Jhula and covers roughly 1 to 1.5 km through dense forest before reaching the falls. It’s a good option if you want a short, refreshing hike without committing to a full day.
Garud Chatti Waterfall Trek
Starting around 3 to 5 km from Lakshman Jhula on Neelkanth Mandir Road, the trek to Garud Chatti begins at a temple dedicated to Garuda and covers about 1.5 km on foot to reach the waterfall a manageable half-day hike, often combined with Neer Garh.
Phool Chatti Waterfall Trek
A little further along the same route, Phool Chatti Waterfall lies about 3 to 4.5 km beyond Garud Chatti. The trail is scenic but can be slippery in places, and many travellers cover Neer Garh, Garud Chatti and Phool Chatti together as a single day trip since the routes are close to one another.
