Rapids & Camps
The rafting capital: Ganga rapids, sandy camp beaches, bungee and ziplines.
India's rafting capital: from Shivpuri down to Rishikesh run the Ganga's named rapids, with sand-beach tent camps, bungee and ziplines along the banks. The season pauses for the monsoon when the river rises. A half-day raft with lunch on the sand is the best way to see the canyon where the Ganga leaves the Himalaya.
