My favourite travel destination in India

 




Camping in Rishikesh might be the perfect vacation for some people but not me.

The celestial city of Rishikesh is a hermit’s hermitage, a sage’s abode and an adventure lover’s hub. This lively city is among the holiest places of Hindus. The tranquil and sometimes raging river of Ganges flows in eternity in this holy city, providing nourishment and life to many the earthly beings. After having a rendezvous with Rishikesh, the river leaves the Shiva hills behind and flows into the plains of northern India. 

The word Rishikesh literally suggests the ‘locks or hairs of a sage’. The city is famously known as the ‘Gateway to the  Himalayas' and the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’. Many locals, as well as foreign tourists, visit this place in the quest for spirituality and peace. Rishikesh is also a commercial as well as a communication hub that lavishly sprawls over the suburban area of the ‘sands of the sages’

Rishikesh Rafting 

 The thrilling adventure of river-rafting on the rapids of the Ganges can be enjoyed in Rishikesh during any season except monsoon. River-rafting in Rishikesh remains closed from 1st July to 15th September. Though the peak season for rafting is March, it can be best enjoyed from mid-September when the river is opened for rafting to the beginning of December when the water starts to turn too cold. 

SAFETY MEASURES IN RAFTING

1) Non-swimmers or minors can also enjoy rafting, but abide by all the rules and regulations and follow the guide's instructions for safety.  


2) Before joining the rafting expedition, one should get a health check-up done; fitness is extremely important for this activity.

3) Do not involve in the consumption of alcohol or any other intoxicants during rafting.

4) Always paddle as a team and not individually. 

5) Pay heed to all the guidelines and instructions from the tour guides or facilitators.

6) Wearing life-jackets is mandatory. In case of a mishap, do not panic; follow your guide's instructions.

7) Avoid getting into the water, because it might be an exhilarating experience, but it leads to disorientation.

8) Do not wear casual sandals. It is preferable that you wear sports shoes or river sandals.


THINGS TO CARRY


1) Carry an extra pair of clothes, shoes and towels.

2) During rafting, wear suggested clothes only. One can wear a swim suit. T-shirt and shorts are also acceptable. Avoid wearing cotton.

3) One can carry their own cameras or video cameras at their own risk.

4) Carry a small first aid kit that has basic necessities like antiseptic cream and lotion, painkillers, etc.

5) It is advisable to carry Sunscreen lotion or any similar lotion.

6) Carry sunglasses or swimming goggles, if necessary.

  Empowerment Coach is not that common in India but according to me, here are the best 5 coaching institutes in India. 1. ALLEN ALLEN coaching was started on Apr 18, 1988, by Shri Rajesh Maheshwari with 8 students. The name has an interesting history to it. The father of Rajesh and the other 3 directors’ name is Late Laxmi Narayan Maheshwari which abbreviates to LN. “Allen” had a similar pronunciation and hence is the name! ALLEN’s uniqueness can be described by the fact that it used to provide coaching of all science subjects under one roof at that point in time.
