Ganga River Expedition

Spend 7 days in in Rishikesh. Take in the fresh, pine air and share a campsite with moths, beetles, centipedes and lots of birds—far, far from the city lights. Raft harder and kayak faster through the swift, gushing waters of the Ganga.
the tough get going
After going through some hydrology basics, and understanding how to use equipment you're ready to hit the water. Learn to respond to the different sections of a river—paddle forward, backward, faster or do nothing! The real fun starts when you begin to read the river and understand how to coordinate your efforts and movements. Mix it up with some safety drills and how to calmly deal with capsize situations. Get creative and build your own raft.
