Amongst other adventures activities in Rishikesh, this is considered easy, enjoyable and enticing because it doesn’t need too many techniques. It is just about motioning the body with the rhythm of river waves.

Jump is done from the same Bungy Platform. You are fitted with a seat & chest harness which is connected to the fixed wire ropes. On jump, after the initial free fall, the ropes smoothly swing you like a pendulum.
Ganga Aarti
Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan (about 10 km from Camp Brook) is organized and performed by ashram residents, particularly the children who are studying the Vedas there. The ceremony commences with the singing of bhajans, prayers, and a purifying and sacred ritual that takes place around a fire, with offerings made to Agni, the fire god. The lamps are lit and the aarti takes place as the final part of the ceremony. The children sing along with the spiritual head of the ashram, in sweet, haunting voices. A huge statue of Lord Shiva overlooks the proceedings. Everyone present for the aarti is engaged likewise. Thus, innumerable floating lamps adorned the rapid current of the Ganga. The starry night sky seemed to be a reflection of the river below.
