 Rafting Expedition on Ganga : 03 DaysHome / Trips / Ganga Rafting Expedition : 03 Days
This is a rafting experience which is complete with chilled out camping and action packed rapids. The trip is conducted in a self supported manner, implying that all the camping gear/rations etc is transferred along with the expedition team in cargo rafts. We would setup camps on isolated beaches, and would move on the next day after winding up camp and ensuring that we do not leave any trace of our presence behind. This mode of camp stay is most eco-friendly as there is minimum disturbance/impact to wildlife and environment.
The 03 days expedition starts from Deoprayag, and would span a distance of nearly 72 kms, finishing at Rishikesh. We would spend 2 nights, camping at different beaches.
If you are seeking a compact active holiday on the river, then this expedition would be up to the mark.

Day 0: Departure by overnight train from Delhi for Haridwar.
Day 1: Early morning pickup from Haridwar/Rishikesh. Transfer by road to Deoprayag( 2.5 hrs ). Today we would raft an introductory whitewater section from Deoprayag, from the confluence of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers. From this place the river is christened as Ganga. It is an easy float section to arrive at a beautiful beach called Beas Ghat. Setup camp here. Beas Ghat is huge beach which is fringed with forest on one side and the river on the other.
Day 2: Today we would paddle towards Kaudiyala, where we would encounter Daniel's Dip. This rapid is short and can be quite difficult in low volume. Later in the day we would run another big rapid called 'Wall' which can be in class III+ kind of difficulty level. Camp would be setup after the long and exciting rapid called 'Three Blind Mice'.
Day 3: After breakfast, the camp is winded up, and everything is packed in dry bags. The rafts are once again put into the water to continue our river journey. Today we would run several exciting class III kind of rapids like "Roller Coaster" and "Golf Course". We would finish our trip near the temple town of Rishikesh.
