AWESOME FUN, FANTASTIC SAFETY AND THE BEST EQUIPMENT - We did the 26Km Rafting trip from Marine Drive. As I had my teenage daughter with me, I wanted to make sure we used the safest company and Red Chilli did not disappoint. We had two guides onboard and two safety kayaks that were always nearby in case anyone fell in and needed help. Also, we got to wear a wetsuit, wind jacket and quality life vest. All these made the trip comfortable as well as fun. We could jump in the water without feeling cold and were protected from the wind when we got back in the raft. Perfect. I can’t believe people we saw on other rafts were wearing only T-shirts. They must have been freezing. The white-water was exciting, but there was still plenty of time in between rapids to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. A great balance. We also had a stop halfway for drinks and snacks. You might be able to get the trip cheaper elsewhere, but it is definitely worth paying the extra for a quality safe experience with Red Chilli. They also have a lovely spacious studio flat available above the office with a fantastic view of the valley from the balcony. We only stayed for one night, but I wish we had more time. So much better than a hotel room!

Great experience - We had an amazing time at Red Chilli. From the office booking to the river, everyone we encountered was professional and kind. Our guides, Dave, Mathias, and Prashant were excellent boaters who picked the most fun lines and were thorough about safety! We have rafted many times and Dave still found funny ways to enjoy rafting that we hadn’t done before. 10/10 would go again.

The best experience in Rishikesh... - Definitely the best experience in Rishikesh. - took the tour 2 days in a row... Also 6 years ago😊 With Red Chilli rafting, safety is as high as the equipment is. Staff of the boat driver, and kayaking followers are extremely competent, friendly, fun. I would highly recommend Red Chilli adventures. But be careful... You become dependent on rafting... I've seen some of the other rafting providers' equipment where the years were broken, and wondering how is the safety so there!!!

Super Fun Rafting - Online booking is quick and easy, with clear information and instructions. The staff - the office bhaiya, the driver, and the crew are polite and extremely professional. The equipment is in good condition and well maintained. Safety is always the top priority. The guide and the assistant often checked everyone to ensure that your outfit is properly secure. The safety kayak always there to safe you from mishaps. Top notch professionalism. It was an awesome experience with Red Chilli Adventure. Will go back for more next time.

a really great day - we had a wonderful rafting trip with these guys. It really was a great day. So much fun. Their staff was great. I give highest marks to Dev (our guide), Prashant (what a great, fun person) and Priyanka. But others who accompanied us were great, too! The day was beautiful. Now that I see the other trips they offer, I have to wonder why we didn't go with the 35 km. full day trip..... Maybe next time?
