A 02 days action packed rafting adventure on the river Ganges. The river trip is done in self supported expedition style,

we ground the rafts at an isolated beach to setup our camp for the night. Participants lend a hand to setup tents, collection of wood for camp fires and various
odd tasks that are needed to establish our stay.
