Uttarakhand Adventure Tour Package from Kolkata
Uttarakhand Adventure Tour Package from Kolkata
What does an Uttarakhand adventure package from Kolkata typically cover?
A complete adventure itinerary combines Rishikesh's most popular adrenaline experiences—including river rafting, bungee jumping, and the Flying Fox at Mohanchatti—with the famous Chopta–Tungnath–Chandrashila Trek, one of Uttarakhand's most rewarding high-altitude hikes. Travellers can reach Uttarakhand by flying from Kolkata to Dehradun in approximately 2.5–3.5 hours or by taking the Howrah–Haridwar train (around 26–30 hours). A 6 Days / 5 Nights adventure package generally starts from ₹26,999 per person, excluding travel between Kolkata and Dehradun or Haridwar.
Many itineraries promoted as "adventure tours" focus mainly on sightseeing with a single rafting session added to the schedule. This itinerary has been designed differently. It combines Uttarakhand's leading adventure activities with one of the state's most iconic Himalayan treks, creating a journey that delivers genuine outdoor experiences rather than simply visiting popular destinations.
The adventure begins in Rishikesh, India's adventure capital, where travellers can experience thrilling activities including white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and the high-speed Flying Fox. The journey then continues towards Chopta, often called the "Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand", before trekking to the world's highest Shiva temple at Tungnath and the spectacular summit of Chandrashila, rising to approximately 4,000 metres and offering breathtaking 360-degree Himalayan views.
As a leading Uttarakhand Destination Management Company operating across Garhwal since 2003, SnazzyTrips coordinates every stage of this adventure circuit—from booking certified adventure activities with age and weight compliance to planning the Chopta trek at a comfortable pace. This package is designed for travellers seeking an active Himalayan experience, making it ideal for adventure enthusiasts rather than those looking for a relaxed sightseeing holiday.
Tour Highlights
This itinerary combines Uttarakhand's most exciting adventure activities with one of its most rewarding Himalayan treks. From high-adrenaline experiences in Rishikesh to breathtaking mountain landscapes around Chopta and Chandrashila, every day has been designed for travellers seeking genuine outdoor adventure.
🪂 India's Highest Bungee Jump
Experience the legendary 83-metre fixed-platform bungee jump at Jumpin Heights, Mohanchatti, India's highest commercial bungee jump overlooking the Hyul River.
🚣 Shivpuri River Rafting
Navigate approximately 16 km of exciting Grade II–III rapids on the famous Shivpuri–Rishikesh rafting stretch, one of India's most popular white-water experiences.
🧗 Flying Fox & Giant Swing
Add even more excitement with the Flying Fox and Giant Swing at Mohanchatti, delivering one of Uttarakhand's most thrilling adventure experiences.
⛰️ Chandrashila Summit Trek
Trek beyond Tungnath Temple to the Chandrashila Summit (Approx. 4,000 metres), rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba, Trishul and surrounding Himalayan peaks.
🏔️ Tungnath Temple
Visit the world's highest Lord Shiva temple at approximately 3,680 metres, one of the sacred Panch Kedar shrines and a major highlight of the trek.
🌄 Chopta Meadows
Often called the "Mini Switzerland of India", Chopta's alpine meadows provide beautiful Himalayan scenery, peaceful camping opportunities and unforgettable sunrise and sunset views.
🌊 Devprayag & Rudraprayag
Travel through two of Uttarakhand's most significant river confluences, offering scenic viewpoints and memorable photography opportunities during the drive towards Chopta.
Who This Package Is For
This itinerary is designed for adventure enthusiasts looking for more than a traditional hill-station holiday. It combines extreme sports, high-altitude trekking, and physically active experiences, making it ideal for solo travellers, groups of friends, and active couples.
Travellers should be comfortable with a 5–6 hour trek, significant altitude gain, and adventure activities that follow certified age (12+) and weight (approximately 40–110 kg) safety guidelines. Previous trekking experience is helpful but not essential for reasonably fit participants.
This package is not recommended for families with very young children, travellers with serious heart or respiratory conditions, or anyone uncomfortable at elevations above 3,500 metres. For a more relaxed holiday, our Rishikesh camping and group packages offer adventure with a gentler pace.
SnazzyTrips Recommendation
For the best adventure experience, schedule your bungee jump, Flying Fox, and river rafting on the same day. Since these activities operate from the Mohanchatti–Shivpuri region, combining them reduces unnecessary transfers and allows you to dedicate one full day to adventure sports.
For the Chopta–Tungnath–Chandrashila Trek, begin your ascent between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM. Early departures offer cooler trekking conditions and significantly improve the chances of enjoying clear Himalayan views before afternoon cloud cover develops.
📍 SnazzyTrips Tip: Complete your extreme sports in Rishikesh before beginning the Chopta trek. This sequence allows your body adequate recovery time and ensures you tackle the Himalayan trek with maximum energy, making the overall adventure safer and considerably more enjoyable.

About This Adventure Circuit
This itinerary combines two completely different sides of Uttarakhand. Rishikesh represents the state's modern adventure destination, famous for certified bungee jumping, Flying Fox, Giant Swing and white-water rafting. Over the past two decades, these activities have transformed the town into one of India's premier outdoor adventure hubs while preserving its traditional identity as the Yoga Capital of the World.
The journey then shifts into the high Himalayas at Chopta, gateway to the ancient Tungnath Temple and Chandrashila Summit. The trekking route passes through the beautiful Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, dense rhododendron forests, alpine meadows and finally reaches panoramic Himalayan viewpoints overlooking peaks including Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba and Trishul.
The combination of modern adventure sports in Rishikesh with the historic Himalayan trekking route through Chopta creates one of Uttarakhand's most complete adventure holidays, offering an ideal balance between adrenaline-filled activities and rewarding mountain exploration.
Best Time to Visit
Adventure activities and Himalayan trekking are highly seasonal. Choosing the right travel window ensures safer trekking conditions, better mountain visibility and the availability of rafting and extreme sports.
| Season | Recommendation | Highlights |

| December – February | ⭐⭐⭐ Winter Adventure | Snow trekking possible with guides, though many adventure activities operate on a limited schedule. |
SnazzyTrips Insights
After organising adventure departures across the Rishikesh – Chopta – Chandrashila circuit for many years, we've identified several practical tips that can significantly improve both safety and the overall trekking experience.
Check Adventure Eligibility Before Booking
Activities such as Bungee Jumping and the Giant Swing operate under strict age and weight guidelines. We recommend confirming eligibility before booking to avoid disappointment on arrival.
Know Your Trekking Limits
Although the trail is non-technical, the final climb to Chandrashila Summit approaches 4,000 metres. Travellers with cardiac or respiratory concerns should consider stopping at Tungnath Temple rather than continuing to the summit.
Start the Trek Early
Mountain weather changes quickly around Chopta. Beginning the trek between 6:00–7:00 AM provides cooler hiking conditions and greatly improves the chance of enjoying clear Himalayan views from the summit.
Expect Limited Mobile Connectivity
Mobile coverage becomes limited beyond Ukhimath and is generally unavailable during the trek itself. Travellers should inform family members in advance that communication may be unavailable on trekking day.
Carry Cash Before Leaving Rishikesh
ATMs become increasingly limited after Rudraprayag. We recommend withdrawing sufficient cash in Rishikesh or Srinagar before travelling towards Chopta.
Dress in Layers
Rishikesh can remain warm while Chopta is often 15–20°C cooler. Layered clothing offers much greater comfort than relying on a single heavy jacket throughout the journey.
📍 Local Insight: The best adventure experience comes from treating this itinerary as two separate adventures—complete the adrenaline sports in Rishikesh first, then focus entirely on the Chopta–Tungnath–Chandrashila Trek. This pacing allows proper recovery and significantly improves the trekking experience.
