Do You Need to Be a Swimmer for Rafting?
This is a huge myth that stops people from enjoying the river. You do NOT need to know how to swim to enjoy rafting in Rishikesh. Everyone wears a high-buoyancy life jacket that keeps you afloat regardless. However, you should have basic physical fitness to paddle and follow commands. If you have serious back issues or heart conditions, it’s best to sit this one out or stick to the calmest stretches. Safety always comes before the thrill.
