When we went to Rishikesh it was a blistering 45 degrees heat, we were completely famished, sun burnt and dehydrated, the cruel summer upon us and a tedious journey to add to it but the one view of Ganga evaporated all the pain all the heat from our minds and bodies. She was flowing in full force, inspite of the weather she was cold, and it was refreshing to just dip ourselves in her.
The most wonderful part of this was the white water rafting, the rafting starts way up in the Ghats with a view you will never forget, mountains on all sides, sandy river beaches, and the sky kissing the waters. We were spell bound by the beauty of the sight not worried about the dangers or rafting, only when we were strapped up with life jackets and were sitting in the raft did we feel the adrenaline.
Looking at Ganga there, no one would believe she could be fierce, but as the rapids come, that’s when you see what natures force is, making you feel infinitesimal. At the same time the happiness, the glory, the adrenaline and the feeling of euphoria as man and nature combine forces, sets in and you are in for one hell of a ride.
As our adventures ended, we visited all the places of interest and packed our bags and headed out of the city and back to Delhi and then back to Bangalore. Inspite of all the colours, the brewing culture, the boat rides, the temples, the bridge and food, one image never leaves your mind the image of Ganga , one feeling never leaves you the feeling of euphoria when you were wrestling in her arms in a raft.
