There are a number of places that you could go-to for the best adventure travel but have you ever tried to plan an entire trip around an activity? We often tend to plan elaborate vacations and forget the fact that even a short trip can be just as exciting and thrilling. With the summer vacations around the corner, children often slack and get immensely bored of their schedules due to a sudden change of routine.

We decided to list down the top 5 places that you can visit with your children, especially, if they love adventure. The best part? You don’t need an extensive travel planner! These are trips that can be last minute vacations and all you have to do is pack your bags and get going!

White Water Rafting at Rishikesh 

The white water rafting at Rishikesh goes up to 30 or even 50 Kilometers and is an exhilarating experience. The rapids are fast and powerful and you need to muster up courage to take part in this activity. If you were looking for adventure, you got it! River rafting at Rishikesh is tougher than anywhere else in India and these two hours will be worth taking that trip. April and May are great months to head to Rishikesh for a rafting session. You can even try the bungee jump while you are at Rishikesh and that will put a tick mark on your bucket list of things to do in India. You can always book your stay at the Club Mahindra Kanatal resort in Uttarakhand and head to Rishikesh for a day trip. The river rafting lasts for about 3 hours and reaching the spot from the resort takes around 3 hours by car. Plan a trip during the day and take your kids along for this joy ride!
