Hike, bike and raft: AquaTerra Challenge 2013 in Rishikesh

11 teams - 70 odd kilometers - 44 participants, this multi-day competition in the upper Ganga Valley saw the birth of endurance events in the scenic Garhwal hills of the Himalayas

A first-of-its-kind, the AquaTerra Challenge was organized as a charity event for the June 2013 flood victims of Uttarakhand, and with the goal of bringing tourists back to this scenic Himalayan destination.
