Lifestyles are changing so are improved comforts affecting our lives. The way children are brought up today is different from when we were their age. At present, schools are increasingly organizing weekend tours from Delhi and the NCR to Rishikesh to let the children get involved with the outdoors and learn something different. It is a type of rejuvenation program where they get involved in adventure activities and thereby develop their skills and personalities. They are offered the same ambience - comfortable lodgings, tasty meals, and other facilities. It is child friendly holidays that schools organize in association with organized and professional tour facilitators at Rishikesh. Children get exposed to the outdoors in such a way that when they come back home, they come with enhanced personalities, appreciating life better in the cities.

Child friendly holidays at Rishikesh can be facilitated only by the organized tour facilitator. School management and wards can expect qualified team from NIMs or ABVMI guiding the children for all outdoor activities making use of the highest standard of equipment. Girls are more vulnerable to risks. But you can expect full time lady instructors solely handling girl groups. You will find demarcated lodging areas for girls and boys. Such a tour facilitator will arrange staff to kids ratio at 2:1 and have a resident doctor on site for the duration of the trip. Such facilitations are child friendly holidays in the true sense of the term. Children up to a particular age are allowed river rafting in the courses of the Ganga with moderate rapids. And whoever enjoys rafting are first trained and are well guided so that risks are averted. Whether it is camping out in the night under the stars or kayaking or mountain biking or climbing, child friendly holidays are assured by an organized tour facilitator.

It is not only schools that organize weekend tours from Delhi to Rishikesh. Corporate organizations are equally giving importance to arranging outdoor programs for their employees. It has been proven by surveys and research that offsites add to the productivity of the employees, thereby contributing to the growth of the organizations. Personality of the executives gets developed; the executives come with better decision making skills. In short, team building activities are organized offsite, far away from the office. Rishikesh is considered the most popular destination for weekend tours from Delhi and the NCR for corporate team building activities.

As part of team building activities, teams may get engaged with the outdoors, especially adventure activities and with each other. All activities are conducted by qualified Indian and international instructors. These adventure activities may range from rafting, climbing, mountain biking to short hiking and high ropes. During the day, it is adventure and once the sun sets, it can be brainstorming, strategizing, and other team building activities. You will come across a dedicated conference room at hotels (cottages in the forest) that you get accommodated. It is no surprise if leading outdoor corporate trainers add to your corporate team building activities.
