I’d always heard of Rishikesh as the yoga capital of the world, a place for meditation, spirituality, and slow living. But what I wanted was the complete opposite—adventure, adrenaline, and something unforgettable. On a last-minute whim, I packed my bag and took off to Rishikesh, determined to push my limits.
Finding places to stay or activities to book at the last minute could have been a nightmare, but Bino came in handy, making sure everything was sorted in just a few messages.
Day 1: The Highest Bungee Jump in India
The moment I arrived, I headed straight for the one thing I had come for—India’s highest bungee jump at 83 meters. The jump site, hidden in the hills about 20 km from town, is not something you just walk into. Slots fill up fast, and advance booking is a must. Somehow, thanks to a last-minute check on Bino, I got a slot.
Standing on the edge of the platform, looking down at the deep gorge below, every nerve in my body screamed NO. But before I could back out, the countdown began—3…2…1…JUMP.
The next few seconds were a blur—wind rushing past me, the ground getting closer before the cord kicked in and sent me bouncing back up. It was an unreal mix of fear and exhilaration, and as I was lowered down, I knew I had just checked something life-changing off my list.
Day 2: Whitewater Rafting & Riverside Camping
Rishikesh is famous for its Ganga rapids, and no trip here is complete without experiencing whitewater rafting. I opted for the 24 km stretch, which meant almost three hours of intense rapids, dips, and paddling. At one point, the instructor casually asked if anyone wanted to jump in and float along with the current—a surreal, humbling experience to feel the sheer force of the river up close.
By sunset, I found myself at a riverside camp, something I hadn't even planned. Bonfire, open sky, and the sound of the Ganges flowing nearby—exactly the kind of peaceful contrast I needed after the day's madness.
Day 3: Café-Hopping & Unexpected Encounters
After two days of non-stop adventure, I slowed things down. Rishikesh is full of quirky, hippie-style cafés overlooking the river. I picked one and spent the morning sipping honey-ginger tea, watching monks and travelers cross the iconic Lakshman Jhula.
On a whim, I asked Bino for any offbeat recommendations nearby, and that’s how I ended up trekking to a hidden waterfall just outside the city, something not many tourists know about. The best part? It was empty. No crowds, no noise—just me and the sound of cascading water.
This trip was nothing like I expected—it was better. Rishikesh gave me the thrill of a lifetime but also moments of pure peace. The best part? Even with zero pre-planning, everything fell into place. From getting a bungee slot to finding hidden waterfalls, Bino handled it all while I just lived the experience.
