Is July a good time to visit Rishikesh?
July is monsoon season in Rishikesh and river rafting is suspended (Ganga is in flood during July-August). However, July has its own beauty — the hills are incredibly lush and green, waterfalls are at their fullest, and hotel rates are at yearly lows. Bungee jumping and other land activities continue. The Kanwar Yatra pilgrimage happens in July-August bringing huge crowds to the Haridwar-Rishikesh belt. If you want rafting, visit October to June. For trekking, September to November is excellent when trails are clear post-monsoon. EZPZ Taxi offers Delhi-Rishikesh trips all year — call +91-9871121217.
