This was my first ever river rafting experience and I am glad that I choose to go with White World Expeditions. Courteous, informative and welcoming staff. I found out about them online and went in person to book my rafting for 10 KM, but after speaking to them for just few minutes I decided to go with 26 KM one for the next day first in the morning. I paid and left for the day. Next day morning there was a reminder call and when I reached on time everything was ready, the vehicle, the equipment and the guide who was going to take us through the rafting. Oh boy, it was a wonderful experience from the start, when we reached the spot two more participants joined me and total we were 3 with one guide and one additional guide following us on a Kayak. The vehicle dropped us and left to the end point. Our guide gave use the personal floating devices (PFD), a paddle and a dry bag. We were briefed about the techniques on how to hold the paddle, how to paddle, what are different call outs, how to respond, safety tips for about 20 mins and then we were asked to board on and start the rafting. It was overall an 3hr+ memorable rafting experience which I will remember for a very long time. The guide had a go pro and recorded during the rapids, over all we had about 13 different rapids. I without any second thought paid and took the video clips. Overall a great experience with White World Expeditions. I do not want to compare then with anyone else as I have not tried anyone else or even made an attempt to talk to anyone else before I booked rafting with White World Expeditions, my first interaction and experience were so good and I would definitely recommend this to any one looking for River Rafting in Rishikesh.

We travelled in February 2020 just before the whole world went into corona lockdown. Our trip announced as multi adventure tour has fully fulfilled all the promises made upfront and much more. We took airplanes, buses, bikes, boats and also made a lot of walks - even this was a nice adventure. Specially at the three days biking through Rajasthans landscape we saw people living on the farms, working on their fields, a school from inside, marriages and much more. In the cities we saw many cultural highlights, all the colors of the markets and people and even had a lot of of fun with the nice group of people we travelled with. Sarah and her team from Chalo made these weeks to a wonderful experience - not only the tourists view was shown but also a view of the real life in India with all the nice things but not ignoring the problems and issues they have to deal with. It was our 2nd trip to India, and this trip was much better than the 1st one organized by another company (and we saw the tigers!). We would always book another trip with Sarah to experience new India adventures.

In simple terms, Char Dham conveys the presence of four sacred abodes. But it has a got a great significance in Hindu religion. Char Dham originally used to refer to a pilgrimage circuit encompassing four holiest sites which were located at four directions of India - Badrinath, Puri, Rameshwaram and Dwarka. They were established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD. A relatively smaller circuit of Hindu pilgrimage is formed by the four hallowed places of Indian Himalayas, which are also known as Chota Char Dham. 'Chota' means small in Hindi. Alternately called Char Dham of Himalayas or Char Dham of Uttarakhand, the revered group possesses four sacred sites - Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamnotri.

Akshardham temple is a must and foremost visit if u are out for Delhi sightseeing. The idol of Swaminarayan is something heavenly,one has to watch it with utter disbelief. I would highly recommend to attend the evening light and sound show. It depicts a story along with musical fountain show with laser lights. It takes around 30 mins to complete the show and tickets per adult is Rs.80/-. Visit the temple at afternoon time so u can take a tour of the temple, museum, souvenir shop, restaurant,garden n can also stay for the show.
