🚵♀️Mountain Bike Daytrip Downhill Ride
We booked the mountain bike tour and had an absolutely fantastic day. Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, as was the driver of the support vehicle, who followed us at a safe distance during the tour in case any assistance was needed.
As for the tour itself: it started with a fun car-drive out of the city in a proper 4x4 vehicle, leaving all the rafting trucks behind, and soon we found ourselves surrounded by the lush green of the mountains. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the towering 7000-meter peaks of the Himalayas before reaching the starting point of the ride. From there, it was mostly downhill with breathtaking views all around. Along the way, we passed through some lovely little villages, which added to the charm of the experience.
We were free to stop anytime to enjoy the scenery and calmness and set our own pace. I would recommend this tour for confident cyclists, as it can get fast at times, and you might occasionally encounter cows, goats, or other animals crossing your path, requiring quick and secure reactions 🐮
I had the incredible opportunity to experience the 26 km rafting trip with Red Chilli Adventure, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Our guide, Sahdev, was an absolute professional who demonstrated expert knowledge of the river and rafting techniques. From the moment we arrived, we were equipped with everything we needed—wet suits, life jackets, and helmets—and received a thorough briefing during our training session. This made us feel mentally and physically prepared for the adventure ahead.
Throughout the ride, we were accompanied by two kayakers, adding an extra layer of safety in case anyone fell off the raft during the more intense rapids. The entire crew was friendly and approachable, and Sahdev kept the atmosphere lively by engaging with everyone, sharing his personal experiences, and providing helpful tips.
A highlight of the trip was that my 56-year-old mom, who can't swim, joined us. Despite her initial hesitation, Sahdev and the crew made her feel completely safe and even encouraged her to actively participate. It was truly heartwarming to see how they ensured everyone felt confident and included.
If you’re in Rishikesh and looking for a rafting experience that’s both challenging and filled with breathtaking views, I highly recommend Red Chilli Adventure. While their rates might be slightly higher than some local options, their unwavering focus on safety and comfort makes it well worth the investment. Kudos to Sahdev and the entire team for creating one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Rishikesh!
My wife and I just got back from rafting with "Red Chilli Adventure," and honestly, it was absolutely incredible! These guys are total pros – everything was super organized and ran smoothly. We went for the 12km ride, and it was just perfect.
Our instructor, Rohit, was awesome! Super friendly and knew his stuff, guiding us through the whole thing. We hit like 9 or 10 rapids, and man, were they a blast! Rohit always gave us the heads-up before each one, which totally made the whole Ganga river experience so worth it.
But it wasn't just the rapids – when the water calmed down, Rohit even let us jump in the Ganga for a swim, which was so much fun. And the views along the river? Seriously breathtaking!
Plus, we felt really safe the whole time. There were always two kayaks paddling alongside our boat, which was reassuring.
Oh, and a huge shoutout for the amazing photos and videos Rohit took with his GoPro! We got them for a small extra cost, and they're such great memories.
Seriously recommend "Red Chilli Adventure" if you're looking for an awesome and well-organized rafting trip!
