Day 01 :
Arrive at camp by lunch. Camp briefing and tent allocation. Raft trip from
camp down to rishikesh, negotiating some of the greatest white water on the
Ganga. Rapids like 'Golf Course' & 'Roller Coaster' keep the adrenaline
pumping, with long calm stretches between to enjoy the scenery of wooded and
terraced hillsides dotted with little villages. Bird life abounds, along
with hordes of monkeys, the barking deer and if you get lucky the leopard
might show its spots. Trip ends in rishikesh. Drive back to camp. Evening
enjoy beach games to help warm up, followed by camp fire and dinner. Camp
overnight.
Day 02 :
Morning tea between 0630 and 0730 am. Breakfast. After breakfast drive 18
kms upstream to put in just above the first big rapid on the ganga. Trip
begins with negotiating 'Daniel's Dip' the name is evocative of a story,
which your river guide would be pleased to recount. 'The Wall' is another
big rapid of the day. Raft down into the camp for a late lunch. Depart for
onward destination after lunch.
From
primarily a cultural tourist destination for several decades, India
has emerged as one of the most sought-after adventure destinations
for discerning international travelers. Perhaps no other single
country in the world offers the variety of adventure opportunities
as India does.
