    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!

    We did a wonderful hike from kunjapuri temple to the neer waterfall. Our guide Ramesh was very friendly, informative, helpful and made sure we were safe at all times. Everything was well organized from pick up to drop off. The views were amazing. Watching the sun rise was awesome. The waterfalls too were so beautiful. Highly recommended hike.

    We travelled from Canada with a family of 3 adults and two kids. Samarth and team has shown Perfect hospitality. Food was delicious!! The rooms and property is very clean. Every thing is well maintained, hygienic and super quiet. The place it’s self is very close to downtown Rishikesh but is very quiet and calm. The place also offers many activities like open mike, live band, yoga and meditation session. The property owner is well knowledgeable and very accessible for any information. If you are looking for a place to stay and explore Rishikesh look no further. Always ready to offer pick and drop and no hesitation in changing plans, whenever needed.It’s a bang for your buck… we our self can’t wait to return back !

    This is the "Trip of our Lifetime ". Thank you Anvesh and team for putting this together so beautifully. We enjoyed every second of our trip. We thought we have signed up for rafting but you have made us do trekking, cliff jumping, rock climbing. We are blown away by your hospitality and safety in every possible way. You are the best and we can't wait to have our next River trip with you. Special mention to Manish, Jammu and Rahul for giving us the delicious and nutritious food. We are glad we have chosen Expeditions India to do this trip and we highly recommend everyone.

    I did an amazing 4-day trip with Team4Adventure in January 2023. I contacted them a few months before arriving in Rishikesh. I've done kayaking maybe 20 times in my life, but only flatwater, and only for a few hours at a time. After booking the trip with Team4Adventure I did have a few group lessons in my local swimming pool, mainly to get confortable with wet exits and T-rescues, although also to attempt to learn to roll independently (mostly unsuccessfully).

    The trip really exceeded by expectations. The trip started after we drove from Rishikesh a few hours upstream to Srinagar (Uttarakhand). The next 4 days we spent kayaking down the river. I spent some of my time in a hardshell kayak, but did the bigger rapids in a 2-person inflatable 'ducky'. Really exhilarating for a beginner like me - lots of capsizing - but I felt really well-looked-after by the team, and always had a safety kayaker looking out for me. I mostly managed to wait for T-Rescues, although if I wet-exited that was ok too. Beautiful scenery throughout, and amazing campsites on mostly-deserted riverside beaches. The food was really good too - I was expecting sandwiches etc for dinner, but instead received 3-course feasts include some BBQ, with simpler sandwiches etc for lunch. I was warned that the water would be cold in January, but it really wasn't too bad - much better than the UK anyway.

    The whole trip was great fun, with lots of 'off-the-beaten-track' experiences that I wouldn't usually have had as a tourist. We even rescued a rooster (see the picture) who was about to meet a watery grave, and kept it safe for the rest of the trip! Thanks for everything - was a really memorable trip!

    We can highly recommend Wet N Wild Explorations as a very professional rafting company and Tour Operator! My 13 year old son an I, having done rafting expeditions around the globe since 25 years, booked Wet N Wild for the 8-day Zanskar River Rafting Expedition. Our expectations were totally exceeded in terms of safety and service! Highly experienced and very friendly drivers & -raft-guides, latest rafting and camping equipment, excellent, fresh and very clean & healthy cooking during the expedition, good Hotel booking, all was just amazing! Thank you so much to that great adventure Guide team of Mr. Chotak Tsering for this fantastic time and hope to come back soon!

    It was a wonderful experience there. We enjoyed a lot. We did the activities such as trekking, kayaking, bonfire, etc. And the most important thing about the Rewild India was that they offered the homemade food which was very tasty and hygienic. Team of Rewild India is very cooperative, they took very good care of us.

    Of the many adventure sport companies in Tapovan and other areas of Rishikesh, Sea Hawk provided us with the most reasonable rates and an enriching experience.

    Ensuring our safety in the water, we were provided with proper equipment and a safety Kayak with a professional life guard rowing it.

    Thanks to our guides Rakesh in the raft and Rohit in the kayak, it was an amazing experience. Looking forward to the next time! Thanks guys.

    I would like to share my recent experience with Sacred Exploration, a team of professionals who offer an unforgettable rafting experience. On 11-05-2024, my daughter and I decided to go rafting and were fortunate enough to have Mr. Dron as our event coordinator. He was incredibly polite and professional, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. His team was equally impressive, showing a high level of expertise and professionalism.

    During one of the rapids, I was thrown out of the raft, but I was relieved to see the rescue guy on the kayak quickly and calmly come to my aid. He helped me back into the raft, ensuring that I was safe and secure. This experience was a testament to their level of skill and dedication.

    I highly recommend Sacred Exploration for their genuine and professional service. Thank you for a memorable and exhilarating experience.

    Sincerely,
    Mayank Sharma

    We also chosen an 18 KM path for river rafting on the Gaga river. The per person cost was 520 rs only for 16KM rafting from Shivpuri rishikesh. The experience was awesome and we enjoyed every minute during rafting and 11 rapids. There were lots of thrill and challenges.Ultimately we loved a lot this trip.
