Trek Bike and Raft in Himalaya

What is your definition of an adventure? Trekking? Biking? Rafting? At Peak Adventure Tours, we define an adventure by providing a fascinating expedition that brings trekking, biking and rafting altogether in the most picturesque settings of the Garhwal Himalayas. This ultimate adventure journey begins from the pious land of Rishikesh, and the main highlight of the expedition is the exquisiteness concealed in the high altitudes.

Trekking, the first love of the adventurists - Our trekking tour lets you to explore the magnificence of a high altitude lake - Deoriatal, which is surrounded by the green forests. In addition to the charming surroundings, the fine reflection of the Chaukhamba and Neelkanth peaks allure the trekkers. This trekking tour further takes you towards Chopta, and then to Tungnath (3680 meters). On reaching Tungnath, you can bow down your head in front of the Lord Shiva, and thereafter trek towards Chandrashila. It is better known as the rock face that is located above the Tungnath Temple, and provides a wonderful 360 degree view of the Himalayan ranges.

Biking, the journey has just begun - We have selected the most beautiful regions of the Garhwal Himalayas for an exciting biking tour – Chopta. Embellished with dense woods and lush meadows, Chopta is known for holding the unspoiled beauty of the Mother Nature. Our biking tour not just ends in the lanes of Chopta; rather we also bike while riding back to Rishikesh.

Rafting, we saved the best for the last - The challenging rapids of the holy river Ganges offers a perfect stretch for the thrill filled white water rafting. Thus, we take you to Rishikesh and let you unleash the adventure wrapped in the demanding rapids of the Ganges.

In a nutshell, this journey is perfect for those who wish to taste different flavors of adventure!

After the Kedarnath temple closes for the winter, a movable image of Kedarnath is brought in procession to Ukhimath, where it resides until the Kedarnath temple reopens in late April or early May. This picture shows the outer gateway to the temple complex, which is not only brightly painted and decorated, but two full stories tall (the wall also serves as the back wall of buildings inside). The stones piled at lower left were for some sort of construction project, which was in full swing when I visited (since summer is the "slow" season ritually speaking, it made sense for the place to be torn up them. And the nearby buildings are clearly residential, since a young girl is visible at upper right.
