What can I say? This was my absolute favorite part of my travel to India. 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 that I was there. Wet water rafting had always been a lifelong dream of mine, and I was afraid that it would get canceled as a result of this. Thankfully, the trip went on as planned. The difference between red chili adventures, and all of the other rafting companies in Rishikesh, is that the people who work for red chili truly love what they do. It is absolutely infectious. All of the staff found upcoming in for me so that I could have the journey of a lifetime down Ganga. During our trip, I was able to connect with some of the most beautiful souls on the planet, I was able to tell them about my childhood growing up in Alaska, I was able to use the Hindi that I learned to come on this trip to connect with these amazing people on a deeper level, and when I messed up words or sentences, they did not hold it against me, in fact they helped. This being my first white water rafting trip was exactly what I needed after a year of losing some of the very closest people to me to cancer. The kindness and warmth that this staff showed me, along with the spiritual energy of Ganga helped me take the first steps on a path to healing. I will now and for the rest of my life be grateful and humbled for the humanity that these people showed me, for the nature that I saw, and for the pride in their country that they hold. I gained a completely new appreciation for India on this day. Regarding the course that we took, it was the perfect length, I did the 26 km trip. We left out around 9 o’clock and we’re back by about 1:30 PM. I think I found a new past time going back to the United States. And the greatest part is, I met new friends that day, people that I know I can meet up with when I’m in India, and people who will always have a home with me in the United States. I truly cannot recommend a better tour company in Rishikesh. I cant thamk them enough, and I pray that whatever god(s) they worship hold them close and keep them and their families safe, healthy, and prosperous.
