Our Ganga river rafting trip from Kaudiyala is a half-day trip covering mostly grade III and III+ rapids. This covers a 35-kilometre stretch usually over a span of 4-5 hours on the water. The full stretch of this trip is covered only when the river is running relatively high and needs a group of at least six people. On the Kaudiyala rafting trip you can encounter 12 rapids including Daniel’s Dip (III+), Three Blind Mice (III+), Cross Fire (III), Roller Coaster (III+), Golf Course (III+), and Club House (III). There is a Grade IV rapid on this stretch called The Wall, which can be a bit of a flipper at times meaning, it can cause the raft to capsize. However, this poses no real danger especially with our trained safety instructors on board who are prepared to deal with any such accidents.
The Marine Drive trip is another good route for Ganga rafting in Rishikesh. This 26-kilometre trip is run almost every day and covers ten Grade III and III+ rapids. It usually takes 2-3 hours to complete this trip, although in the winter months of December and January it can take between 3-4 hours. For a last-minute plan, this is a great trip to join.
The Shivpuri down white-water rafting trip takes place in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. It is a 16-kilometre stretch that we cover in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Here too, we encounter 7 rapids including big and small ones. This short trip is a great way of getting a quick taste of the sport. Although it does have Grade III and III+ rapids, beginners too can enjoy this trip under the guidance of our rafting instructors.
