The nearest and best option is Shivpuri, around 50–60 km away. It’s just before Rishikesh and famous for its Ganga rafting routes. The drive is scenic, and the rafting experience is full of adventure with safe, guided options for all levels.
The best river rafting near Kanatal is in Rishikesh, just a couple of hours away. The stretch from Shivpuri to Rishikesh offers the perfect mix of thrill and scenic beauty. I read a story on Travel Storiz where someone described rafting through the rapids with the mountains echoing around—it wasn’t just an adventure, it felt like therapy. Sometimes, the river does more than just rush—it resets you.
