Kayak in the Himalayas: Rishikesh
Picture this: You're in a river fringed by mountains on either side, weaving your way through the frothy, gushing waters in a bright orange kayak. The kayak could tip over any moment if you're not too careful, but that makes the ride all the more thrilling. If you want to experience an exciting kayaking adventure, head to Rishikesh, where you can learn to negotiate big rapids and surf waves. The Aquaterra Adventures Kayak School will show you the ropes, from paddling in a straight line, to negotiating Class 1 and 2 rapids, to taking the plunge into the relatively smooth tongue of a scary Class 3 or 4 rapid. The classes are held between September and June, and are four days long, during which you stay at the Aquaterra campsite. While you're there, you can also try your hand at activities such as white water rafting and angling.
