Early morning transfer to upstream from Shivpuri,
30 kms from Rishikesh. Relax a while and get acclimatize with the
surroundings. The whitewater river rafting capital of India is the
stretch of the Ganga from Kaudiyala to Rishikesh where the river has
numerous rapids over 36 kms. About 28 km upstream from the town of
Rishikesh, on the Alaknanda, is one of India’s best known- and most
popular- stretches for white water rafting. Most of these operate
between October to March, through the winter. The run starts at
Kaudiyala and passes through thickly wooded hills; along the way are
two of the river’s best rapids- one known as the `wall’ and the
other called the `golf course’- which are succeeded by deep,
tranquil pools. The river route makes it way past riverside temples,
under the Laxman Jhoola. The run finally terminates at the dam
beyond Rishikesh. Overnight at Rishikesh |
