Riverside Camping: The more you camp the better you become

Riverside camping, as is evident by the name itself, is camping along a riverbank. It lets you fall asleep to the soft music of flowing water and wakes you up to the first magical rays of the sun. It is mostly done when rafting or kayaking. In India, the most popular destination for riverside camping is Rishikesh. The adventure lovers generally follow rafting with camping and spend some quality time with friends and family amidst nature.

You can set up your own camp or stay in already built camps. Riverside camping lets you calm your senses and refresh your energy for a fresh battle in the city life once again. As you are on a riverbank, you can also enjoy fishing. During night, you can have fun around a bonfire and enjoy Maggie with friends. While doing all this you will feel like you are a part of the movie Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani!!!!!!! (Although it was not riverside camping but all of us wished of it at least once while watching)
