Famous Weekend Gateways

The Ganga : The most famous and holy river ganga is the best option for water rafting. The best place for this white water rafting is Kaudiyala – Shivpuri, Rudraprayag-Rishikesh, Tehri-Shivpuri, Kaliasaur to Srinagar, Srinagar to Bagwan, Matli-Dunda, Harsil-Uttarkashi,Dharasu-Chham etc. The most suitable weather for river rafting in all the places is October to March through the winter.

The Kali Ganga : Do not get confused with the name ganga,it has nothing to do with ganga. The Kali Ganga, known in its lower reaches as the Sharda, flows into India from the neighbouring country of Nepal. The rafting area is Jauljibi-Tanakpur.

The Indus : Much easier and quieter than the Ganga and its tributaries, the Indus is suitable for Grade II and III trips. The river, which originates in Tibet, flows down through Ladakh, past Leh, and then passes into Pakistan. The options here are: Spituk-Saspol and Upshi-Khaltsi.

The Zanskar : the Zanskar arises near the border between Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir and makes its way northward, to meet the Indus at Nimmu. A beautiful stretch of water, the Zanskar isn’t as wild and wicked as its southern sisters, the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi. It does have some grade III and IV rapids, but they’re fewer and more far between. Among the most exciting runs on the Zanskar is the Padum-Nimmu run. Kerala Holidays
