Ganges is the river where I learnt some hard lessons in the art and craft of white water rafting. Mother Ganga was kind enough to ignore some dim-witted follies and make me what I am today. Rafting in the Ganges is a great way to initiate oneself into the world of white water rafting. Over the years it has come to be known as the adventure capital of the country, especially in the case of water sports and rafting. The biggest reason is because of its close proximity from Delhi and other major cities of North India. Rishikesh is located at a distance of approximately 260 Km from Delhi which takes about 6 Hr to drive down.

Rafting in Ganges is divide into 3 broad sections. The first one is from Kudiyala till Marine Drive which is for approximately 10 Km. This section is home to the 2 biggest rapids on the whole segment which are know as “The Wall” and “Daniels Drip” which are graded as class IV and class III respectively. The second section is from Marine Drive till Shivpuri which is for roughly 12 Km. Some of the major rapids in this segment are “Three Blind Mice”, “Crossfire”, Black Money”. The third section is from Shivpuri till Rishikesh (Laxman Jhula) which covers a distance of 18 Km and has some interesting rapids like “Rollercoaster”, “Clubhouse” and “Golf Course”.
