About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- swathiAv0 contributionsMemorable experience!For a first timer, Vishal and Dheeraj made us feel very comfortable and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. Both, Vishal and Dheeraj are very skilled and extremely good at what they do! Overall a very memorable experienceWritten 14 January 2025

- kushagrat20250 contributionsA Rainy Rishikesh Raft RideI loved the ride. We took a bus from the Red Chilli office (where we got a recorded view of the previous rafting experience) over to the starting point. We were a bit delayed by the heavy rains, but that was a minor hindrance. We had three guides with us who set us up with life jackets and cold protection for the journey. After a short walk down to the shore of Ganga, we received an in-depth safety instruction about how to work the raft and what to do if you fell off your raft (in our party of 7, someone did fall out, but that was more fun and silly than anything). After we started off in three rafts, we had to row against a bunch of waves - some of which buffeted us and challenged our oars hard - but it was all the more worth it to struggle forward to see the sights of Ganga's shores, and the beautiful river current. Our guide, Bhuppi, had us on our toes and made sure we were getting everything we could out of the experience. We got a bunch of photos, literally dipped our feet in the water, got to 'swim' with the raft, got to record our experience and, of course, tasted the Ganga current. I heartily recommend this trip if you are going to Rishikesh. It'll be a highlight of the journey.Written 7 January 2025
- A598RUandyr0 contributionsThe best tour agency in Rishi, Vipin's your man!Vipin and his team really looked after us on our trip to Rishikesh. My daughter and I did the Chandrashilla Pass trek with his team. Every thing was wonderfully organised, our brilliant guoide Kiran really looked after us on the hike and told us so many intersting facts. It was an experience of a lifetime that me and my daughter will remeber forever. Additrionally, Vipin organised a great rafting trip with my daughter and organised all of transport, pick up in Delhi which he had to re-arrange due to our flight being cancelled, nothing was too much trouble!Written 6 January 2025

- Coastal552736536340 contributionsRishikesh White water raftingRight from the beginning the experience was smooth. The booking process was smooth, we booked over phone and then paid the requisite amount at their office. Pickup and drop was provided from their office to and from the rafting location. The rafting instructor was very good. He was friendly, jovial and knew exactly what he was doing. Our was Mr Sahdev Singh and it was a really wonderful experience to have him as our instructor. The safety equipments were top notch. We were provided wet suits due to winter season, dry jackets, life jackets, helmets. A rucksack was provided to keep our belongings. There were changing rooms for females and males. There were safety kayakers encircling our raft all through our rafting journey for rescue should any one fall off the raft. As desired the water was rough enough so that we could enjoy. All in all whatever was promised/advertised by Red Chilli Adventures Sports Pvt Ltd was delivered in totality.Written 13 December 2024
- hersheys_shetty0 contributionsRafting down the GangesThis was my absolute favorite part of Rishikesh. I was worried at first when I walked in and heard that I was the only one who had booked this trip for the day, .The difference between Red Chili Adventures is that they are well equipped with wet suits and 1 safety kayak-er with us. Regarding the course that we took, it was less, I did the 16 km trip. I truly cannot recommend a better tour company in Rishikesh. The whole experience was adventurous but safe at the same time. Vishal ensured we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest and had many activities for us that we did not see other rafting companies do. Vishal was very helpful and made us feel safe when he made sure we floated down a couple of rapids. Floating down the Ganga looking at the serene sky Ram Jhula and listening to nature was a divine experience that no words to express All in all, it is the best rafting experience you can get in Rishikesh. Note: recommend wearing wet-suit pants and the wet-suit provided on top Overall excellent experience, highly recommended.Written 13 December 2024

I had an incredible experience during the rafting session, and I’m thoroughly impressed with both the expert coaching and the overall experience provided by the company. The booking process was seamless and straightforward, making it easy to reserve our spot and get all the necessary details ahead of time.
The company had a comfortable and welcoming area to relax while waiting for the session to begin, which was a nice touch.
As for the rafting itself, Dev, the coach ,was exceptional. He created a positive, engaging atmosphere, explaining safety protocols clearly and providing expert guidance throughout. His deep knowledge of rafting techniques and the river made the experience both safe and exciting.
The equipment provided was well-maintained, comfortable, and fit for the conditions. It was clear that the company prioritizes both safety and quality.
I would highly recommend both this company and the coach to anyone looking for an excellent rafting experience!

We had a fantastic time rafting. We initially booked the 35km tour online and the provider immediately reached out to us, that that they were very sorry to inform us that the 35km tour was not available but the 26 km tour was and that they would reimburse us the difference - which they did without a question. The tour was well organized. All the equipment worked well and fitted. The tour guide was super nice, helpful and funny. The rafting was so much fun and even without previous rafting experience it was easily handable. We (two tourists from Germany not speaking Hindu, only English) recommend this provider highly. Added benefit, the provider was much cheaper than booking the tour through our hotel.

Best was the guides experience who guided safely thru rapids, gave us multiple opportunities to get into water during rafting with all precautions
All were super happy after rafting trip
Thanks Red Chilli for making this maiden trip memorable

Red Chilli was excellent! A driver picked us up at the hotel and delivered us afterward. The river team was superior. The raft guide was seasoned and was highly skilled at his profession. The team included two kayakers who helped recover rafters who fell overboard and separated from the raft which was an excellent touch compared to other raft companies operating on the river. Red Chilli is a professional company serious about its business and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning rafting at Rishikesh.

One of the best experiences I’ve had! The tour operator is good and the arrangements are excellent. A wet suit is provided for the rafting with is a must as the water is very cold.
The rafting guides are experienced and very friendly. They make sure everyone is safe. Vishal was our raft guide and he was really good.
I highly recommend Red Chillis

The experience was amazing. The person who was guiding us through the rafting was so motivating and made our rafting journey fun. Mr. Harpal who was rowing kayak boat was experienced and cheering. I would certainly recommend only red chilly adventure to my friends and families for river rafting.

Traveled in a group of 5 to Rishikesh & rafted with Red Chili.
At first, the higher price (vs locals there who offer it at 60% cost) was not the most appealing - however, the professional equipment, the detailed safety preparation won us over.
In fact, they were the only operator we saw who had a safety kayak too!
Great staff - Navraj & Keshav who took care of us on the raft & told us great stories :)

The trip was great. The guide Manish was really knowledgeable and was very informative. He navigated the rapids very well and at the same time gave us enough thrills. As i have done rafting in much more challenging waters before, it didnt really excite me that much, but all my friends were thrilled. Overall, we all had a great time. Only thing that was not upto expectations is that the trip was really short - maybe 10 or less rapids only. Thought it will be much longer.

I had an absolutely amazing time rafting with Red Chilli Adventure! This was my first time rafting and the staff and guides made me feel very much at ease. They fostered a fun environment with opportunity to get to know my fellow rafters. The actual rafting was soooo much fun (I feel like I'm going to now look for rafting at every outdoorsy vacation I do) - the guides even let us body surf a couple rapids! The guides also record the rafting (and take pictures!) with their go-pros which you can purchase at the end
I felt extremely safe throughout and I couldn't recommend this organization more! 11/10 experience!

Written 13 March 2019
It would be best to discuss this with Red Chilli, their details are on their website (sorry it won’t let me post the web address)
There are some relatively big rapids (grade 3+) so it would depend on the water confidence of your children.
