- Saskiagriffiths00Best rafting company in Rishikesh. They ran a safe, professional and exhilarating trip down the river.I had the opportunity to go rafting with Red Chilli Adventures on a recent trip to Rishikesh, I did the 26km tour and it was an incredible experience. So much so, that I went back 2 days in a row! Red Chilli is an extremely professional company. Arvind and Vippin in the office are kind and helpful, and all of the staff we met were so friendly. Down at the river their gear was high quality and well maintained. Our guide, Dev, was awesome and clearly very experienced on the river, as well as properly qualified. The team of saftey kayakers were also very skilled, and I felt confident with all of them right from the start. The saftey briefing was clear and concise, as well as the crew’s saftey procedures on the river. There wasn’t a single moment where any of us felt unsafe. The trip itself was amazing, ton’s of fun, and Dev was super engaging. It was clear that the whole team was passionate about being out on the water. If you’re looking to go rafting in Rishikesh, I would 100% recommend Red Chilli Adventures.
- SiddVakil00Excellent exper team of red chilli adventuresHad gone for 26kms river rafting with 12 Rapids. Will recommend to all readers that do go for river rafting only with Red Chilli Adventures as they have proper safety equipment & 2 kayakers always on standby. During our trip they rescued a team whose raft had turned turtle.
- outdoorplanetr00Rafting expedition NovemberThanks, Vipin & Team for the perfect organisation of our rafting expedition and the great time in India 🙂. Greetings from Austria, Daniel & Diana
- M M00Outstanding service from start to finishThe service was excellent. Picked up straight from the airport and driven to Rishikesh. The hotels we were put up in were all clean with air-conditioning and accomodating staff. The 6 day River Sarau/Kali expedition was fantastic. The food cooked from a tent on the beach by Kalu was restaurant standard (not sure how he managed it) The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, professional and welcoming. They took safety seriously and provided decent safety kit. I can't stress enough how good everything was and how good a job Red Chilli did from the moment we arrived in India to the moment we left.
- Companion3359197671200Red Chilli adventure's Exhilirating River Rafting experience on the GangesRiver rafting (26 Km) on the Ganges conducted by Red Chilli adventure was an enthralling and breathtaking experience. Thorough professionalism by adventure company and kudos to the tour guides and the Kayak operators i never felt any safety concerns while going over the class II and III rapids. Extremely well conducted. I will be back soon to do the same and other adventure activities with them. Great job done. Col (Dr) Pramod Nath
- Hetal444400Bestest and safest experience 👍Super Safe …It was awesome experience with Red chilli adventure…i went for rafting in November 2023.. and I strongly recommend as the best company for rafting.. their coach. ..their Life guards.. kayaking guys.. staff.. their rafting kit…the whole team managed it so well.. in all the experience was fabulous.. and i would just say if u planning rafting in rishikesh.. go only with redchilli❤️
- I3574CVdouglasr00Custom Multi Day River AdventureThe red chilli team put together an excellent package for us (a very experienced rafting and kayaking group). First running the Ganges at Rishikesh then expedition rafting/kayaking on the saryu and sarda rivers, also in Uttarakhand. Very well organized from Vipin and his team. Can recommend 👍👍
- camillep54300Amazing Chandrashila trekThis is a great trek to do. The website says it is easy but I would not say that, you really have to be fit to do this trek. The guide and chauffeur are great at what they are doing, always doing their best to get everything you need. The food is delicious and the camp is very cosy. It is cold so I would recommend take warm clothes with you.
- 402715827400Fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip to esp..the body surfing through the rapidsWell looked after and friendly instructions. Organised and very safe, even though we fell in. A huge thank you to all the staff
- Discover4944685904600Rishikesh Rafting: Magical AdventureRiver rafting with Red Chilli was an exhilarating adventure that surpassed all our expectations. We opted for the 35kms rafting journey from Kaudiyala to Nim beach. The team's commitment to delivering a magical experience was evident from start to finish. The professionals at the helm, led by Captain Harpal, demonstrated unparalleled expertise, ensuring our safety while maximizing the thrill. Captain Harpal's knowledge of the river and calm and fun demeanor instilled confidence in all of us. The kayakers, Kishan and Gopi, added an extra layer of excitement. Their skillful maneuvers through challenging rapids showcased their dedication to providing an unforgettable journey. From navigating turbulent waters to sharing interesting anecdotes about the surroundings, the team's passion for their craft was palpable. It was more than a rafting trip; it was an immersive, adrenaline-pumping experience made possible by a team of true professionals. I can't recommend this adventure group enough – a must-try for anyone seeking both excitement and a touch of magic on the waters of Rishikesh.
- Compass140948173830035 Km rafting in the GangesI had a thrilling experience. I still remember the moment I fall off the raft in a rapid , that was scary but thrilling. Its totally safe because u have all the PPE plus two professionals are in the kayaks and lead is in the raft. I came back with moments to remember.
- Oxy_Che00Great people, great time!Great crew, good equipment and Ganga ji at her best. There was a good number of class 3-4 rapids. There was also an opportunity to jump from the cliff (35km route), as well as body-surfing. There was a yummy veg lunch served at the end.
- 388divyas00Truly awesome adrenaline rush at it’s best 👏Red chilli adventure was truly the best and professional choice to go with for river rafting . Mr Vishal Rana our rafting leader was awesome and has made it sure that we had the time of our life . He not only made us experience river rafting like never before but also made us feel connected with the Ganga river soulfully. Thank you for memories of a lifetime captured and given to us though red chilli adventure and Mr Vishal Rana .
- Seaside2009881337200Highly recommend 35km raft with tasty lunch includedWas a really good experience with redchilli adventures. The team was very polite and attended to our requests. We went a bit early during season on the 35km rafting and the team was very friendly. Dev was an excellent guide! We had to request for the cliff jump as it was off season and the water levels were no ideal, yet hetook us to a spot we could jump and gave us a good experience. Suggestion: would have been nice if the teamproactively informed us about cliff jump before we had to ask. Otherwise, the team was very professional. The lunch included is excellent, very tasty and nutritious! Overall a great experience. Highly recommend.
- radhikac57500Smooth & thrilling experienceRafting in Rishikesh is one of the best experience in my life. Stepping down from the boat and taking a dip in the ganges was the best part. Guide was helpful and kind. The whole journey with the boat members was thrilling and exciting. Highly recommend red chilli.

Carried out 16km shivpuri river rafting and cliff jumping activity with them and must say had absolutely awesome experience with them. although the price is couple of hundred bucks higher then other operators but its totally worth it.
PROS
1) Extremely nice, courteous and professionally trained and certified staff will make your whole experience thrilling and safe at same time. They encourage for getting down in water where it is safe and are always in command of situation. My raft incharge Ankit was very humble, helpful and always made us feel comfortable and safe during whole expedition. The other guides Dev and Sandy were equally efficient and courteous.
2) Very good quality equipment, ensuring extra safety and then offer wetsuits as well to everyone in case you want to avoid exposing yourself directly to cold water of ganga.
3) The cliff jumping is not done from maggi point. (although you dont get chance to eat maggi), but this jumping point is 5 feet higher and less crowded then the maggi point, making it more thrilling.
4) There is an additional Kayak with the rafts so that in case of help needed they can quickly come to rescue.
5) they only take 6 to 7 people per raft unlike other operators where there can be 8 to 10 persons per raft.
Cons
Unable to think of any as of now.

They are very professional and the take utmost care for your safety. They are best in rafting in Rishikesh. Dry suits and jacket which they provided was neat and clean. Dry suit is very useful specially in winters, because I saw kids wearing wet puffer jackets in other rafts and I was wondering what would happen to them in this ruthless and cool wind of Ganga. There was a kayaker with us who was looking like a Olympic athlete and you can vouch on him that he won’t let you drown. In cliff jumping he immediately came and asked about my well-being and I am not a good swimmer so he took me immediately to the shore. Videos are of good quality. They might be expensive from local rafting guys which you can find in Tapovan main road but they are worth the price. Never compromise with your safety.

Great experience from start to finish! I really liked that, aside from our instructor on the raft, we also had two kayakers with us for additional safety. Having never tried white water rafting before, this provided additional peace of mind and demonstrates Red Chilli’s professionalism and attitude towards safety.
The whole team were lovely and everything was explained clearly both as part of the briefing and as we went along. (They even put a tent up for me at the end so I could get changed!)
Great fun and would definitely recommend using Red Chilli for white water rafting in Rishikesh.

Great experience overall. We opted for the 16km rafting tour. The staff was polite, maintained hygiene, punctual and followed safety protocol. My parents tried rafting for the first time and were made very comfortable. Our guide on raft, Dev was super fun and brought a great energy with him. All in all a great experience!
We rafted through 3-4 rapids. Many companies that offer rafting tours at cheaper costs do the same distance but start off at a much lower base in the Ganges, thus, offering only one rapid in the 16km stretch. These rafts end up at the ghats of Rishikesh which are crowded and dirty. The tour with Red Chilli Adventures was good value for money.

The company is well equipped with the needed gear. The staff and guides are well experienced. Proper tips and teaching was given to all of us. The whole experience was wonderful and I highly recommend these guys for rafting.
The waterproof gear which is given by them is of good quality and much needed which is not given by many companies.

We enjoyed overall experience at Red Chilli. They have an excellent office staff along with the best rafting guides .
the best part is that they handle you with care in the sense that right from you meeting them and going through their focus on treating to more than customer to managing safety aspects makes you feel at ease.
our guide Sagar was a great entertainer and never let anyone feel the fear of god when you are one rapids.
I can blindly vouch for them to be the best in business in Rishikesh.

Great rafting experience. This was the only company I could find which was giving a wet suit. We rafted in the morning in February and wet suite was needed for sure. They also had a safety kayak which others don't offer. The instructor, the safety kayaker all were very professional and friendly. They made sure we had a lot of fun, learn basics of rafting at the same time ensured that everything was done safely.
Will definitely recommend red chillies. They are a bit more expensive than other companies but definitely worth it.

Red Chilli was professional and very safety conscious. It seemed like they were the only company with a safety kayaker that accompanied the boat. I did not notice that any of the other companies had one of these guys which is really essential if you do fall out of the boat. We had a fantastic time. Our guide and kayaker made it lots of fun including games and also gave us time to swim and chill while drifting down with the river.. If you are in Rishikesh I highly recommend you contact Red Chilli. This is an experience you cannot miss.

Is it available at on the spot instant booking or pre-booking is required. Usually how much waiting time for instant booking

Karnal, India1 contribution
I did pre book 2 days in advance but it was a mid week day so wasn’t busy and one could have easily got on the spot booking.
If not with red chilli adventure, you can get on spot booking with others as there are hundreds of them in Rishikesh.
But I would highly recommend to use red chilli adventure as none matches their level of professionalism.
No other rafter company had a safety kayak with them, no wet suits were provided to others, no changing tents were set up, it’s only red chilli in my experience who does that. I saw others there and none matched their level.
So if you sure on the trip date pre book with them

How much time it takes to complete river rafting process. Accordingly we want to arrange our 4 year old daughter care taker
prakrati
Karnal, India1 contribution
It takes about 2.5 to max 3 hours.
Half hour for travel to starting point, changing and set up.
1.5-2 hours on the river for 16kms rafting (more if you opt for 24 or 35 kms rafting)
Another ten mins to come back to their office by car.
