Kayaking

If you love being in the water in the Himalayas then Kayaking is the sport for you. You can go all by yourself. The word ‘kayak’ means “hunter’s boat”. In the past, the ability to cut through water silently made kayaks ideal for hunting prey. However today, paddling in a kayak is a great outdoor sport. It’s easy to paddle, safe and is just so much fun! Kayaking in Rishikesh offers people of all ages a chance to relax or play on the water. Many camps are organized alongside the 70 km stretch from Devprayag to Rishikesh itself. From leisurely drifting down the peaceful stretches of the river Ganga, to attacking large rapids, you can choose your own excitement. Navigating the curvy river bends and roaring rapids, dodging boulders and unseen rocks are just few of the elements of white water kayaking combining skill and courage.

Beach Volleyball

Beach volleyball is a lot like indoor volleyball. Many of the rules are similar to volleyball. While volleyball is played on hard surface, with beach volleyball you can have fun on the soft sandy natural floor. The best thing about the sport is that people of all age groups can play it. It’s an excellent leisure sport and a great team-building exercise. It is also a good exercise to motivate your energy level. At Camp Gold Coast, Beach Volleyball is a popular leisure activity. You can spend your holiday time here, by playing a game of beach volleyball with family and friends. With the river Ganga flowing on one side and the mountains all around, the game is truly going to be a unique experience for you.

River Body Surfing

River body surfing is one of the great ways to have fun in water. You can completely relax all your muscles by simply floating on your back on the gently moving river. It’s an incredible feeling. The weight of your body is balanced onto the moving water. You maintain balance by using your hands and arms. If you are wearing a life jacket, you can enjoy this leisure activity without the fear of drowning. In Rishikesh, you can spend warm summers playing along with rapids on the river Ganga. On the white water rafting route, you will find lots of silent stretches on the river where you can simply slip off the raft and do body surfing.

Rappelling

Walk backwards over the edge of a steep drop with only a couple of ropes and your composure to keep you safe! If this idea doesn't put you off then read on.

Our professional instructors will see that you will get to the bottom safe and sound. Rappelling is a technique used by climbers to return to the bottom of a climb quickly (but not too quickly) and we will show you all you need to know to enjoy this exhilarating challenge. So whether you're keen and confident and raring to go, or you would prefer a gentler introduction, Camp Gold Coast has rappelling for you. Rappelling is a good choice for half-day activity. It can be combined with any other activity to make it a full day of adventure.

Trekking

Trekking is a very healthy activity. Trekking means travelling on foot for many days. Trekking in Rishikesh has become an increasingly popular activity. People trek for beautiful views, peace and tranquillity. It is strenuous and burns calories, and many overweight people shed their excess load along the trail. At the same time everyone feels his or her muscles strengthen and firm up. Whether you are an adventure traveller or a casual tourist, we can help you get the most from your time on the hill. Trekking can be tailored to meet your needs and level of experience. At Camp Gold Coast, trekking is available as a full day, half day, or expedition activity.
