WHITE WATER RAFTING OPTIONS
ON THE GANGES
Our rafting camp, SILVER
SANDS is located on the Rishikesh
Devprayag road (256 kms from
Delhi/27 kms from Rishikesh ; within 5-6 hours
driving time from Delhi) on the banks of the river
Ganga, on a sandy river beach and a portion of
riverside forest. An excellent getaway from city
stress - the tented river camp offers complete
outdoor experience with white water rafting at
its very best, camp games, solitude, campfire
tales, kayaking, abseiling, good food and new
found friends. And, for the not so adventurous,
a great holiday to put their feet up & relax,
with a few lazy walks thrown in. For people with
more time on their hands, we recommend self-contained,
multi-day rafting expeditions on the tributaries
of the holy Ganga, the Alaknanda, Bhagirathi and
Kali rivers, both of which are possible within
6-9 days from Delhi.
Area
Garhwal Himalaya, Hills of Uttar Pradesh
Ideal Season
Mid-September to mid-May.
