Tanakpur (Early Morning)
If you want an energetic weekend getaway that begins post working hours, avoid traffic and offers a perfect mix of rafting, culture, nature and leisure—this Kali River Rafting & Camping Trip from Tanakpur is indeed the one for you.
This itinerary is tailored for night travelers from Delhi / Lucknow, so that you arrive at the destination fresh in the morning and get straight into memorable experiences. With 35 km adrenaline-pumping river rafting, village hikes, riverside camping, bonfire evenings and spiritually uplifting moments by the Mahakali River, this trip provides a raw, less-commercialized alternative to the usual crowd destinations Rishikesh.
Most trips on the weekends kill the daylight hours with travel. This itinerary eliminates that problem since you travel overnight, allowing for more adventure time in the daytime.
While Rishikesh is in demand, it is also infamously busy with traffic, overcrowded rafting stretches, and commercialized campsites.
Located close to the Indo-Nepal border, Tanakpur is a perfect place to seek out an adventure that is less crowded, more raw and authentic.
