River Rafting Adventure in Uttarakhand
When it comes to river rafting, Rishikesh is the most popular destination in Uttarakhand. It is a famous river rafting destination in Uttarakhand since it offers various stretches and grades on the River Ganga. Both amateur and advanced rafting enthusiasts can enjoy river rafting in Rishikesh. There are four river rafting grades in Rishikesh: Grade I, Grade II, Grade III and Grade IV.

The main stretch of white water rafting starts from Kaudilaya and ends at Laxman Jhula, consisting of 13 major rapids and taking 8-9 hours. The course is dotted with several whirlpools and crosses sandy beaches like Byasi, Marine Drive, Shivpuri, and Brahmpuri. The course consists of 13 major and challenging rapids that ranges from grade II and III to IV+, with the most famous ones being Denial Dip, The Wall, Black Money, Cross Fire, Three Blind Mice, Return to Sender, Roller Coaster, Golf Course, Club House, Double Trouble, Hilton and Terminator.

The first stretch from Marine Drive to Kaudilaya is about 9-10 kilometers, with rapids ranging from grade III to IV+. The second stretch of 11 kilometers takes approximately 2-3 hours and is from Marine Drive to Shivpuri. Some of the popular rapids that you will be tackling in this stretch include Black Money, Cross Fire and Three Blind Mice that ranges from grade II to III+. The third stretch from Shivpuri to Brahmpuri that covers a distance of another 10-11 kilometers and takes approximately 2-3 hours combats rapids similar to rapids of the Marine Drive to Shivpuri stretch. The major rapids on this stretch are Return to Sender, Roller Coaster, Golf Course and Club House.

The final stretch from Brahmpuri to Rishikesh, which is also the easiest, throws rapids like Double Trouble, Hilton and Terminator, which ranges from grade I to II+, at you.

The peak season for river rafting in Rishikesh is March, but it can also be enjoyed from mid September to early December, as after that the water starts turning extremely cold.

Uttarakhand, aptly called Devbhoomi, where spirituality abounds!
Rightly called Devbhoomi, meaning, the land of the gods, Uttarakhand is where the spiritual aura is prominent. The state is home to a large number of Hindu temples that are situated in its remote corners. There are several holy rivers like the River Ganga which make it a sacred pilgrimage destination as well. Haridwar is one of the top pilgrimage destinations in Uttarakhand and serves as the Gateway to the Char Dhams of Uttarakhand. Har Ki Pauri is a major religious attraction in Uttarakhand.

The Kumbh Mela is held in Haridwar in Uttarakhand once every 12 years. The state is also home to the Panch Badri, Panch Kedar and Panch Prayag.

Each of these places are also associated with the mythologies in Hinduism, and hence, are extremely significant spiritually for the Hindus. These religious places are also blessed with spectacular natural beauty, so you can also enjoy the surreal beauty of Uttarakhand along with a spiritual experience.

Panch Badri is a total of 5 holy places where Lord Badri, a form of Lord Vishnu is worshipped under 5 different names, which are: Vishal Badri (Badrinath), Yogdhan Badri, Bhavishya Badri, Vridha Badri and Adi Badri. All of these religious destinations are visited by a large number of devotees of Lord Vishnu from all across the country. Badrinath Temple is the main temple of Lord Vishnu, and is one of the four Chota Char Dham pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand. It is situated at an elevation of almost 10,279 feet. The presiding deity is Lord Vishnu, who has a black granite statue in the temple. The deity is believed by Hindus to be one of the eight self manifested deities of Lord Vishnu.

Uttarakhand is also the holy land of Panch Prayag, which refers to the Five Confluences which occur at Vishnu Prayag, Nanda Prayag, Karn Prayag, Devprayag and Rudraprayag, to form the River Ganga. The Panch Prayag is respected by millions of Hindus because it is one of the holiest confluences in India, after Allahabad. It is believed that taking a dip in the confluences cleanses the body, mind and spirit, and takes an individual closer to mukti or liberation.

The famous Char Dham Yatra is a major pilgrimage for Hindus in Uttarakhand. The Char Dham refers to the four pilgrimage destinations, which are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath.
