As the pioneers of adventure tourism in India, we at Ghum India Ghum pride ourselves on curating experiences that leave you craving for more. Our river rafting expeditions in Rishikesh are a testimony to this very pursuit of thrill and unbridled excitement!
Located in the heart of the mighty Himalayas, the holy town of Rishikesh is a paradox of sorts. While internationally revered as the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’, it’s also an adrenaline junkie’s paradise. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t let you in on this whitewater rafting secret!
Where the Ganges Roars
Imagine being dwarfed by colossal, mist-laden peaks as the thunderous Ganga currents hurtle past you. Your heart’s pumping, every muscle is taut with anticipation as you await the rapids. This is level-next whitewater rafting, folks!
The Ganga’s frothing journey through Rishikesh is punctuated by stretches of relatively calm waters, interspersed with wild, untamed rapidsranging from grades 1 to 4+. From the gushing mouth of Shivpuri to hair-raising drops at Brahmpuri, it’s an obstacle course crafted by nature itself.
But here’s the kicker – we know these meandering veins like the back of our hand. With over a decade of experience, our rafting expeditions are a fine-tuned balance of safety and crazy thrills!
Geared for Adventure
As you arrive at our rafting camp, a whirlwind of activity greets you. The shrill echo of rafting instructions, the rhythmic inflation of boats, and a palpable air of excitement & energy. This is where it all begins!
After getting suited up in our premium gear – snug life jackets, sturdy helmets, and pro-rowing equipment – it’s time to embrace the rush. Led by our skilled anglers (read: rafters), you’ll undergo a training session covering all the basics. Safety protocols, paddling techniques, body positioning – we ensure you’re prepped to take on the Ganga!
Then, it’s time to hop into the raft, paddles at the ready. The gentle lapping of waters slowly gives way to a mighty roar as you enter the gorge. Brace yourself for an adrenaline-pumping joyride!
