Rishikesh: Jungle Trek to Gujjar Village along the Valley River

What Makes This Activity Unique? This experience offers a rare opportunity to step into the forest lifestyle of the Van Gujjar community, a traditional pastoral tribe that lives deep inside the jungle near Rishikesh. Unlike typical treks, this journey combines offbeat forest hiking, cultural interaction, and river-valley landscapes in a single experience. You’ll walk beyond tourist routes, visit a remote Gujjar village, interact directly with local families, and learn how they live sustainably with their cattle and the forest. The trek also includes birdwatching, mountain viewpoints, a hidden waterfall, and peaceful walks along a valley river. What truly sets this activity apart is the authentic human connection, the quiet, untouched trails, and the chance to experience real Himalayan jungle life—not staged, commercial, or crowded—just a genuine cultural and nature immersion near Rishikesh.
