Rafting in RishikeshTriVia on Rishikesh: While rafting at Shivpuri, your guide is sure to bring you to the point from where you can cliff

jump into the Ganga. It is an approximately 25 feet free fall into the water. The thrill is incredible! If you are someone who seeks that kind of adrenalin rush make sure you don’t shy away from that experience.

Kesroli Fort Palace, RajasthanTriVia on Kesroli Fort: Agreed that the beautiful hill fort is truly enticing but a quick trip to the Ghana Bird Sanctuary,

Sariska Tiger Sanctuary, Kankwadi Fort and the museums of Alwar and Sariska would be a fantastic idea. If you have a sweet tooth drive to Alwar only 15 km away and pick up some ‘kalakand’, an Indian sweet that is a

specialty here. There is an entire street dedicated to it called Kalakand Market!
