Rafting Down the Ganges

Rishikesh, the white water rafting capital of India. Today Rafting is one of the most popular adventure sports activity in the country and is very popular amongst  increasingly life style oriented Indians and International Travelers. The Ganga offers some of the best and safest rafting opportunity in the world. Bump, Swirl and Ride the Grade I to V rapids here and you are sure to take back exciting memories that will last a lifetime. The Ganga with its frothing and foaming waters throw up a challenge that no rafter on this earth can look away from.

Many of us may have seen Rafting and kayaking on the television - its looks exciting, a big rapid, a colorful raft and kayak weaving a path through the waves and all the randomness of white water. You may have wondered, if you could be that person in the kayak, if you could look as graceful and have that much fun, being so much closer to the water than being on a raft.

Even non swimmers can enjoy the fun of rafting and Kayaking. 

The Himalayas, stretching 3,200 kilometers along India’s northern frontiers, cradle numerous rivers which drain them all year round. This abundance of mountain rivers makes India a world class whitewater destination‚ with plenty of first-descent and exploratory possibilities. 

We offer you the complete white water wilderness experience with trips ranging from a few hours to a few days expedition‚ down some of the premier Himalayan Rivers. Short day trips are run from our river beach camp on the Ganga River, Camp Paddler Zone deluxe tented accommodation and the luxuries of a fixed camp. Multi-day expeditions move down the river with all the equipment required loaded onto the rafts and different camps pitched every evening. We also offer perfectly blended rafting-cum-trekking‚ trips for those who don’t want to miss out on the local culture and people. We customize trips to suit your special interest and time schedule. For people interested in kayaking, we can offer help with information, transport and equipment.
