Trip Summary
“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”
― Anthony Bourdain
Be it trekking across beautiful mountains, zip lining over the Ganges, bungee-ing down to the river, cycling uphill or downhill, white river rafting and kayaking in the river gushing down the mountain slopes, (engrossing yourself in the energy of evening Aarti) praying and participating in the evening Aarti, meditating and practicing yoga, or camping and doing nothing yet absorbing the positive vibes while appreciating mother nature and the elements around you. So if you want to tap into your spiritual energy vessel and feel fresh like a spring breeze then Rishikesh is surely the place for you. Rishikesh is indeed the complete package !
