Had THE best time ever!!!! - A perfect 10/10 to the team. Every aspect deserves a shoutout! Equipments ✔️ Experience ✔️ Instructor (Dev) ✔️ Kayaker (Bhupi) ✔️ Fun ✔️ Ps: we had a cute little tea break with snacks as well. Even if you are a first timer with any kind of water adventure (as I was), go for it. It was worth it!

The Most Amazing River Rafting Experience! - Our river rafting trip was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the guides were professional, friendly, and made safety a top priority. They gave clear instructions and kept the mood fun the entire time. Although it was our first time rafting, Dev (our rafting instructor) and Bhupi (our kayaker) ensured they understood where we were coming from and what kind of adventure we would be able to handle, all while pushing us a bit out of our comfort zone to experience the thrill.

Rafting with Red Chilly in Ganga - Just rafted with Red Chilli Dev and his crew today — hands down my favorite rafting ever, and on the freaking Ganges! 🔥 Dev puts safety first, throws in fun games mid-rapid, and keeps it insanely epic. These guys are the absolute best — highly recommend everyone join their trips! 💪😎

the dry suits were not dry - It was a great experience and I would do it again, but the dry suits were not dry. It was very cold and the water seeped through the clothing.

Best in Rishikesh - Bar none! - I come to Rishikesh on an annual basis and always choose Red Chilli for my rafting excursion (Marine Drive to Rishikesh). I did a lot of research before my first trip three years ago, and came to the conclusion, that Red Chili is best in class. I just finished my third trip with them yesterday and my opinion has only been solidified - especially since I have been able to see what the other tour operators provide. They provided full wetsuits which very few rafting companies provide. As a result, we were all warm in the Ganga even when immersed and floating in it for a bit. Their safety is top notch as they have top quality rafts from the US and are probably among the very few companies that send two safety canoes along with the raft. So you have two canoes following the raft for your safety in case someone falls in and for scouting the optimal route to negotiate the rapids for that day. Our safety team were Robin and Pinky (who is a silver medalist in rafting). I loved the fact that Red Chilli is training more women to be part of the safety team and the raft leader. Our leader Dhiraj was excellent with a great sense of humor. Bonus points for the wonderful lemon tea and Oreos break half way into the trip. I have been recommending this company to all my friends and hope to use them every year during my visits. Highly, highly recommended.
