Overview

Trail Overview

A quick reset by the Ganges. Morning rafting on grade 2-3 rapids, an afternoon walking the Beatles Ashram ruins, and an evening at a riverside café watching the Ganga Aarti. No itinerary pressure — just a weekend to breathe.

Why this journey exists

I added Rishikesh not because it's undiscovered — it's the opposite. But there's a version of Rishikesh most people miss. Away from the tourist traps, there are quiet ghats, old ashrams, and a river that still feels sacred at dawn. This weekend is about finding that version.
