River Ganga is the most holy river of the Hindus. The story of Ganga
begins
 from its source in Gaumukh in
the Garhwal Himalayas. The sacred river 'Ganga' offers the professional as well as the
amateur the exhilaration of white water rafting. It offers a lot of thrills and adventures
to the rafters. The 'Alakananda' and 'Bhagirathi', are the main tributaries of the Ganga
and meet at Deoprayag,
frothing from their racy descent. Their waters are of grade IV to V, challenging the
expert to savor the thrill. Like all the seasons, the mood and color of the river also
changes. Down river from Devprayag , the Ganga changes into a pool drop river. This
stretch of almost 70 kms is perfect for amateur and the novice, for here the river offers
some fine grade III rapids. The slopes on each side are covered with oak, pine, spruce and
firtrees. Deoprayag to Rishikesh
is an exhilarating two-day trip and the most exciting of the entire river running trips in
India. Tourists normally drive from Delhi to Deoprayag where a camp is set - this is the
junction of the Alakananda and the Bhagirathi. It is an exciting river run and a two-day
program is planned, with an overnight camp arranged on the banks of the river. Some of the
rapids are dangerous but this area gives you the thrills of fast water, deep gorges and
silver sands. Enjoy an easy one to three day rafting trip from Oct. to mid Dec. and from
Feb. to June, from Deoprayag to Rishikesh in the lower Himalayas. |
