Grade II–IV rapids, a riverside camp, and the roar of the Ganga under the Himalayas
Rishikesh sits where the Ganga exits the Himalayas, cutting a roaring path through limestone gorges. Twelve major rapids — including the famous “Golf Course” and “Three Blind Mice” — make this the undisputed rafting capital of India. On this weekend package you will tackle a 16 km stretch of grade II–IV rapids, camp on a riverside beach, and wake to a misty mountain morning.

What guests say
Best weekend I've spent in years. The rapids were thrilling, the camp was super comfortable, and the guide was brilliant. Already bringing my friends next month.
Brilliant experience for a first-timer. The bonfire dinner by the Ganga is something I'll always remember.
