Rishikesh

Trekking

There are a lot of soft treks in this region, this is an optional thing as some people love to walk in nature and do a bit of bird watching and some prefer to be at the camp and relax and they are already tired with the activities they have done.

Ganges
By-pass road

Take a holy dip in the Ganges, with reputed healing powers.

Rock climbing

This is something everyone is familiar with, this is also included in some of the camps but not everyone can do it as it requires a lot of strength and skill. the group is taken to a cliff side and with proper safety gear everyone is given a chance to climb the cliff side.

Cliff Jumping
Gangas

You are supposed to jump into freezing water from a cliff! yes, it sounds crazy but this is one thing which everyone can brag about back home, of course you are wearing a life jacket and a helmet but still to jump from so high into the ganga which is murky and the bottom can't be seen, it's not like jumping into a swimming pool where one can see the bottom the water is static.
