Bungy jump, giant swing and flying fox over the Hyul gorge

Walk out onto a cantilevered platform above a side gorge near Mohan Chatti, get weighed and harnessed by a trained jump master, and step off, or take the valley rope swing or the zip line instead.

from ₹2500 · Daylight hours, year round; slots fill at weekends and in the September–November and March–May peaks

Learn to roll a kayak on the Ganga

Spend four days in a plastic boat on flat water and then on Class 1–2 rapids, learning ferry-glide, eddy turns, wave surfing and the Eskimo roll before being let anywhere near Class 3.

from ₹37200 · Outside the monsoon: schools give March–May and September–October as the learning season, and Aquaterra publishes fixed clinic dates each year.

Kaudiyala and Byasi river stretch

The section of the river that is still a mountain gorge rather than a town frontage.

Free to visit; rafting charged per person · Late September to mid-June
