‘Paani Main Crocodile Hai’: Woman’s River Rafting Adventure In Rishikesh Takes a Terrifying Turn

Rishikesh, known as the Adventure Capital of India, offers a plethora of heart-pounding activities that keep adrenaline junkies coming back for more. While these thrilling escapades in Uttarakhand’s Rishikesh are a dream come true for adventure enthusiasts, they can also turn into spine-chilling experiences for those unaccustomed to such high-octane adventures. Among the most popular activities in Rishikesh is river rafting, but as one recent incident demonstrates, it doesn’t always end in joy.

A woman, seeking to create cherished memories, embarked on a river rafting adventure that quickly turned into a nightmare. Clad in a life jacket, the woman was pushed into the water as part of the adventure activity. However, within moments, fear overwhelmed her, and she began pleading to be pulled back onto the boat. What intensified the situation was the tour guide’s reluctance to assist her, as he continued to persuade her to remain in the water, exacerbating the woman’s distress. 

While some found the incident amusing and cracked jokes about it, many expressed concern for the woman’s well-being and criticized the guide for his stubborn behavior.

“This is not funny at all. Regardless of the guide’s experience, what if she had a panic attack that led to something serious?” commented one user.

Another remarked, “Why force her? Let her return to the boat.”

“Don’t coerce anyone into water if they are openly expressing fear. She could experience trauma and panic attacks,” cautioned another user.

Addressing the guide directly, one individual wrote, “When she is crying and asking to be brought back onto the boat, why not comply? She is frightened and wants to return. This is not how tourists should be handled.”
