What is the best time to go rafting in Rishikesh?

Accepted Answer

White water rafting is one of the most popular attractions in Rishikesh and an inclusion in most Rishikesh adventure tour packages. With moderate temperatures throughout, you can visit the city any time during the year. However, when it comes to rafting, you need to plan your trip with care. The best time for river rafting in Rishikesh starts post-monsoons (sometime mid-September) till the early summers in May. If you want to experience white water rafting in clear waters, you may want to plan your trip from November to March. June to October are the monsoon months in Rishikesh, which bring so much rain that they cause a rise in the water levels of the river, making rafting extremely dangerous during this time. So, during the monsoons, rafting is generally closed.
