The Experience
Fly from Delhi to Dehradun where you will meet a Students Fare ambassador and transfer to your adventure resort in the foothills of the Himalayas. After lunch, enjoy a short hike to Badal Village that takes you through beautiful fields, along streams, and into a traditional Garhwal village. You will be back at camp in time for high tea. In the evening, enjoy a presentation by a local expert who will introduce you to the region’s flora and fauna.
Start your day with a Yoga session by the Ganga River, the perfect location for a special memory. Then it’s back to the camp for breakfast and your first day of rafting. After a safety briefing, it’s time to go out rafting into some exhilarating Grade 2 and 3 rapids! Later in the day, you’ll visit Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of the World, where you’ll be invited to participate in the evening’s Aarti prayer ceremony.
Start the morning with another yoga session and breakfast before heading out for more rafting! Today, you’ll experience “Return to Sender” and “Roller Coaster” Grade 3 rapids, and “Golf Course” Grade 4 rapid. After an energy-filled morning, it will be back to camp for lunch and then the transfer to the airport.
