Before you proceed, read Day 1 first.

Thought Rishikesh is situated over the banks of holy Ganga, this holy Ganga also provides adventure for the fun seekers with its ferocious and turbulent flow in the stretch of Rishikesh.
So we woke up in the morning to the settled sand by the rain that happened last night and the clean air that we took advantage of to clean our smoke filled lungs. The morning was beautiful as it was my first  time to wake up directly to such a scene. Nature on its peak beauty! 

After having our never ending fun at the river beach, we were called for the breakfast. Not so yummy but satisfactory seeing the remote location of the camp. After the dinner, there were vehicles waiting for us for the rafting starting point.
We were all geared up with helmets, life jackets and instructions on how to raft. We weren't lucky enough to get to raft on 18Km stretch but got just 12Km.It had 3 rapids as we were informed. 
Aftergetting our heads filled with instructions and commands, we were taken to the raft boat at river bank. I chose the front seat and so did one of my friend. 
Forward Guys!! 
Let's go!! 

We rafted on the turbulent water where each wave was more aggressive than the other. And the rapids, they were the most angry points of Holy Ganga. I didn't know a goddess can be that violent! 
Just after the second rapid, there lies a cliff. I don't remember its height but it's pretty enough to assure fun. All three of us jumped one after the another and were gathered at the bank. 
Then again, Forward Guys!! 
We all rushed towards the next and the last rapid. The professional rafting guide informed us that we need to be fast enough to pass a whirlpool. Otherwise we get stuck. So we put all our efforts with maximum speed to avoid it and collided with the third final rapid. 
Further flow was as calm as deep sea. Ironical to the gushing turbulence, it was peaceful. Now that was something I call "Nature's tonic" to relax your body. 

The guide asked us if we wanted to get out of the boat into the chilled water. And we were all jumping into it. Then after few moments, we reached the  end point of rafting. I wanted to go again but that won't be feasible with our bodies as we were already exhausted. I wish I could see my video while rafting! 
Then we walked for few minutes to find a good hotel to rest in. And soon we did. Then we rested for few couple of hours and woke up to the very charming beauty of Rishikesh's evening. So calm and contained in itself. What else we would wait for!
We went out in comforting clothes and slippers and walked to the bank of Ganga. I believe the sound of flowing river takes away all the exhaustion with it, leaving behind a human full of nature love and peace.

This is how the Day 2 of Rishikesh trip happened. It was adventurous and comforting as well. Likewise Day 1,I did find a painting over the street walls on Day 2 also. I don't know why were they drawn, but I do know that this kind of walls add up the beauty in the streets. Here it is "The Mystery Painting"  of Day 2.
