This unique water body surfing rishikesh experience is done in specially selected calm sections interspersed with moderate rapids, making it a controlled yet thrilling activity. Body surfing in ganga river offers an intimate connection with the river as you feel the rush of water around you, navigate through waves, and experience the raw power of the Himalayas' most sacred river.

The body surfing adventure rishikesh is always conducted under expert supervision with certified river guides accompanying you throughout.

Common Questions

FAQ - Body Surfing in Rishikesh

Everything you need to know about body surfing safety and experience

Is body surfing safe in Rishikesh?

Yes, body surfing in Rishikesh is completely safe when done with certified operators. We conduct body surfing only in controlled river sections under expert supervision. All participants are provided with ISI-certified life jackets and helmets, comprehensive pre-activity safety briefing is mandatory, and experienced river guides accompany you throughout the activity. The duration is limited to 15-30 minutes in carefully selected moderate rapids to ensure maximum safety while delivering the thrill.

Can beginners do body surfing in Rishikesh?

Yes! Body surfing in Rishikesh for beginners is available in gentler river sections like Brahmpuri with Grade I-II rapids. Our guides provide detailed training on body positioning, breathing techniques, and safety procedures before the activity. Beginners start with easier sections and shorter durations (15-20 minutes) to build confidence. The activity is designed to be accessible while still providing an adrenaline rush. However, participants should be comfortable in water and in good physical health.

What is the minimum age for body surfing in Rishikesh?

The minimum age for body surfing in Rishikesh is 16 years due to the physical demands and water conditions of the activity. Participants between 16-18 years must be accompanied by an adult guardian and have signed parental consent. All participants must be able to swim or at least be comfortable in water, be in good physical health without heart conditions or respiratory issues, and follow all safety instructions from guides. There is no specific maximum age, but good fitness is required.

What is the best season for body surfing in Rishikesh?

The best season for body surfing in Rishikesh is from September to November (post-monsoon) and March to May (spring) when water levels and temperatures are optimal. Body surfing is available from late September through June. During December to February, the water is very cold which can make body surfing uncomfortable despite good water levels. Body surfing is completely prohibited during monsoon season (July-August) due to dangerously high water levels, strong currents, and unpredictable river conditions.

Can non-swimmers do body surfing in Rishikesh?

Body surfing requires more water confidence than regular rafting, so while you don't need to be an expert swimmer, you should be comfortable in water. Non-swimmers can potentially participate if they have basic water comfort and confidence, are provided with high-quality ISI life jackets that keep them afloat, choose gentler sections (Brahmpuri), and follow all guide instructions precisely. However, we strongly recommend that participants have at least basic swimming skills or water confidence for maximum safety and enjoyment of the body surfing experience.
