Viral Video: Rishikesh is all fun and games, quite literally, until the fear kicks in. And this fear in question, kicks in more frequently than often among many tourists. Uttarakhand’s Rishikesh is famous for some of the most thrilling adventure sports, among which river rafting attracts the most attention. But apart from the thrill, the adventure sport is also popular in leaving tourists scared to death every once in a while. Experiencing something similar, a woman ended up somewhat recreating the popular ‘land kra do’ moment, after she began to plead and cry to take her back in the boat while river rafting.
The woman in question, with a life jacket on, was thrown in the water as part of the adventure activity. However, her fear seemingly rushed in leading to her wanting to come back to the boat. What stretched the incident was that the tour guide was trying to convince her to stay in the water, which further left the woman desperate.
As soon as the clip went viral, it received a mixed reaction. Some found it funny and some were concerned about the lady.
The video was shared on social media platform Instagram, by the handle ‘adventure_with_rishabh’.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. The clip was shared a few days ago and pulled 13K likes from people.
“You have permission from this lady to post her video, right? If not, she can take legal action against you,” a user wrote.
“This is not funny at all. no matter how many years of experience you have. what if she had a panic attack and it led to something serious?” commented a second person.
“Why force here, let her come on the boat,” added a third person.
“Brother, when she is asking and crying, why don’t you take her up the boat? What is the joke here? She is afraid and wants to come on the boat. This is not the way to handle tourists,” added another.
“Don't force anyone to dip into water especially if he or she is getting afraid openly. She can undergo trauma and gradually face panic attacks,” joined the next.
“This might have been serious because that woman is scared. I would suggest not doing such things as they can lead to accidents,” wrote a sixth person.
