Adventure Activity

Unleash Your Inner Adventure

Embark on an unforgettable journey down breathtaking rivers with our expert guides.

“Sometimes, all you need is a little splash of adventure to make life extraordinary. Rafting does just that.”

The Ganga between Shivpuri and Rishikesh is the most-run stretch of white water in north India, and it suits a wide range of people: the shorter sections are gentle enough for families, the longer ones hold grade 3 rapids.

Every raft goes out with a guide who has run the stretch many times. Helmets and life jackets are issued at the launch point and a safety briefing runs before anyone gets on the water. Safety kayakers accompany the harder grades.

River Rafting time period is 7 O'clock To 5 O'clock

Questions

Before you book

Do I need to know how to swim?

No. Life jackets are mandatory and guides are trained to recover anyone who goes in. Tell us in advance if you cannot swim so the guide knows.

What should I wear?

Quick-drying clothes and sandals with a heel strap. Bring a change of clothes and a towel. Leave phones, watches and anything loose on shore.

Is there an age limit?

Most operators set a minimum of 14 for the grade 3 stretches. Younger children can usually do the shorter family section — ask when you book.

What if the river is closed?

During peak monsoon the river is shut on safety grounds. We will tell you before you travel and suggest alternatives.
