Best and safest rafting in Rishikesh! Have gone with them thrice now. - Red chilli is one of the only few companies that provide safety kayaks along with the rafts. The kayaks make all the difference in making you feel safe and comfortable in the turbulent river. The chief guide Dev is extremely competent and fun. Ever since our first trip, whenever we come back to Rishikesh we always request for Dev to be our guide. He is definitely the best in the business. You can expect fun games, historical tid bits and fun banter during the rafting experience. There has never been a dull moment and we're definitely gonna come again for the 4th time whenever possible. Red chillis prices are slightly steeper compared to other providers but it shows in their quality of equipment and crew. Absolutely worth every penny. Do go for this experience, it will be unforgettable!

A good guide helps you enjoy the moment. - My sister wanted to go for rafting and Red Chillies was suggested by my friend. Upon my research it came that they are trained and certificated holders in this activity. I knew that me and my sister will have a safe time doing the activity. We met our guide/instructor Dev. He gave us all the safety instructions and we simple followed them. Rafting was enjoyable following the rules and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone was humble, cooperative and made the environment breathable. Looking forward to the 36km.

Incredible Apartment with Ganga View & Top-Notch Rafting Experience - We spent two weeks in what we can confidently call one of the most beautiful apartments we've ever stayed in. It's hard to put into words just how deeply we enjoyed our time in Rishikesh, staying in the studio apartment managed by Red Chilli Adventure. Located right above their adventure agency, the apartment is modern, spacious, beautifully designed, and fully equipped with everything you could need — a comfortable bed and sofa bed, a fully functional kitchen, a fridge, bathroom, wardrobe space, dining table, and plenty of natural light. But the most breathtaking part? The view. The apartment overlooks the holy Ganges, and waking up each morning to see the river flow, watching people bathing in its sacred waters, brushing your teeth while gazing at the life unfolding below — it was truly extraordinary. Every evening, we sat on the big balcony to watch the moon rise, the sun set, the city breathe. It was a daily moment of stillness, magic, and connection that will stay with us forever. The energy of Rishikesh is powerful, and this apartment allowed us to live in it fully. The price is more than fair for what it offers — it’s rare to find a place that feels this special and balanced. Honestly, it’s impossible to regret staying here. We will come back, no doubt. On top of that, Red Chilli Adventure offers excellent outdoor experiences. We did the 26km intermediate rafting trip on the Ganges, and it was absolutely amazing! When you're constantly traveling and used to adventure, it’s not easy to feel that pure rush again. But rafting on the Ganges with Red Chilli brought back that thrill — a perfect mix of adrenaline, laughter, and beauty. And in the quieter stretches of the river, we experienced a sense of peace and connection that felt deeply meditative. The moment you jump into the sacred waters of the Ganges and float — it’s something you never forget. The team was incredibly professional and well-organized. Our guide, Steve, was amazing, and we were accompanied by two safety kayaks throughout the whole journey. We didn’t see any other agency so well-equipped and prepared. We felt very safe! Truly, this was one of our favorite experiences in India. Thank you Red Chilli Adventure — we’re already looking forward to coming back! 100% recommended — both the apartment and the activities!

Best rafting operator in Rishikesh - very professional, amazing experience. - It was amazing rafting experience specially it was our first time. The most important part was the clear safety instruction from our guide Mr. Dev and the presence of two kayker as our life guards. The views are breath taking. Mr. Dev was awesome giving us enough time to enjoy the views and with creative games. Shubh says - Thank you Sir for amazing first time experience and I will come back soon for a 35 kms rafting with you again.
