Well, adventure tourism in Rishikesh is not only limited to river rafting; there are more outdoor experiences to explore. Kayaking, mountain biking, climbing and hiking – the list goes on. Rishikesh tours are no wonder getting popular by the day. Another adventure tourism feature that is getting popular in Rishikesh is bungee jumping. This adventure sport happens to be the first and only camp of its kind inIndia. It is not only adventure enthusiasts but also corporates and school children who come in groups to indulge in something different. And then Rishikesh is also a pilgrimage centre not to mention the scenic beauty of the hill landscape feasting the eyes of every visitor. Hence, Rishikesh tours are also about pilgrimages and sight seeing.
