A 380-member team from MakeMyTrip , the country's leading Online Travel Agency, has successfully accomplished the biggest-ever rafting trip organized in India. This was a part of the company's annual employee off-site. The last-mile provider for the trip in Rishikesh was Aquaterra Adventures, the pioneer in adventure travel throughout the Indian Himalaya.

 

This is the first time that 380 people together underwent the complete experience of whitewater wilderness in Rishikesh. Besides rafting, the trip consisted of kayaking, hiking and trekking. Through the entire length of this expedition, care was taken to have minimal impact on the environment and to ensure that the surroundings were left as undisturbed as possible.

MakeMyTrip is synonymous with making travel fun and hassle-free - as a brand we have proved that we live this in a 360⁰ manner. "

 

Vaibhav Kala, CEO, Aquaterra Adventures said, "Environment has always been a core concern for Aquaterra while planning trips for our clients.

We share a long association with them and making history together is an accomplishment we cherish."
