RAFTING
The magic behind River Rafting also
referred, as White Water Rafting is the extreme and
never-ending thrills in the untamed rivers. The rivers
in the upper Himalayas are among the best in the world
for river rafting sports, with many staircase rapids
that challenge the body and spirit of the river
runner. The river cuts against the rocky banks, crash
into rocks, crevices and breaking into white water
rapids, foaming, swirling, and falling in a thunderous
din. India has a wide range of river rafting regions,
which suits both amateurs and professionals.
Itineraries are specially made for Weekend, i.e.
Friday-Saturday-Sunday.

Rishikesh
Rafting
Ganges River Rafting
:
Highlights : Ganges River has
always remains a mystery for explorers and full of
surprises for the rafters. Ganga near Rishikesh in
Uttaranchal is a popular spot for white water rafting. The
whitewater river rafting stretch of the Ganges is from
Kaudiyala to Rishikesh where the river has 12 major rapids
over 36-kms long, most of which are easily negotiable and
some require our expertise.
When To Go : The Ganges is too cold for rafting during
winters. The monsoon brings heavy rain to the lower
reaches of the Himalayas and melting snow in the mountains
result in higher waters in the river. Summers, therefore,
though a good time to go river rafting, can be a little
unsafe, especially for novices who haven’t traveled on a
river in spate. For novices, October to April is the best
time to go river running, when the waters are lower and
more manageable.
Getting There :
Location : Rishikesh,
Uttaranchal
Air : The nearest airport
is Jolly Grant at Dehradun which is well connected with
Delhi
Rail : The nearest
railhead is Haridwar and the nearest railway station is

Delhi and Rishikesh. Rishikesh is a 30 min drive from
Haridwar.
Road : Rishikesh and
Haridwar is well connected by road with Dehradun, Delhi
(257km), Shimla, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Jaipur etc. Buses

Leh
Rafting
Indus
Rafting
Highlights : The Indus river flowing through the Leh
valley in the high altitude desert region of Ladakh, is by
far one of the most scenic white water runs anywhere in
the Himalayas. The river offers a wide spectrum of trips
ranging from the most popular day trip from Phey to Nimmu
to a more extensive multi day, self contained expedition
from Upshi – Khaltsi.
Small but exciting rapids take you through this magical
moon-land with majestic peaks and quaint monasteries
dotting the horizon. While in Leh, one must take time to
run this river.
When To Go :
July to September
Location : Leh, Ladakh
Getting There :
Air : Leh, the capital of
Ladakh is connected by Indian Airlines and Jet Airways to
Chandigarh, Delhi, Srinagar and Jammu.
Rail : The nearest
railhead is Jammu (690 km), which is linked to the rest of
the country by express trains.
Road : In summer
months, Leh can be reached on a state highway, from
Srinagar (432 kms) in two days but the road is not safe
due to the unrest in the Kashmir valley. The curving
mountainous road passes through Sonamarg, the Zojila pass
(8,413 m) and the Drass valley (the coldest inhabited
region in the world, after Siberia), culminating in a
night's halt at Kargil (2750m). Leh is reached on the
second day. Leh is also linked by road to Manali in
Himachal Pradesh. Within Ladakh, buses ply between the
main towns and villages, and vehicles can be hired in Leh
to get to the more inaccessible areas.
