Rafting Suspended in Rishikesh as Ganga River Rises
Rafting trips in Rishikesh have been stopped because the river is getting too high due to heavy rain.
The water level is close to the danger mark, and it's hard to rescue people if something goes wrong because of the mud in the river.
This suspension started on June 24th in a place called Muni ki Reti.
People love to go rafting there, but it is not safe at the moment.
Rafting usually happens for most of the year, but it stops during the rainy season.
River rafting in Rishikesh has been temporarily suspended due to rising water levels.
