Ganges River Rafting
Ganges or River Ganga has been known
for its significance as a holy river of India as well as the ultimate
adventure point as far as river rafting in India is concerned. The
magic of white water rafting on the Ganges, the adrenaline rush with
the thrill of negotiating speedy river currents or just gently
floating past terraced hillsides and forest is one experience you
wouldn't like to miss.
Garhwal River Rafting
With the intricate network of
Mountain Rivers flowing through a myriad of different colors of rocky
gorges, forests, flowers and high mountain villages, the Garhwal and
Kumaon hills provide ideal locales for the perfect water adventure.
The sport of White Water River rafting calls for a triumph over the
swift swirling river as it gushes past spectacular mountains.
Teesta River Rafting Sikkim
The River Teesta, said to be
the lifeline of the state of Sikkim, flows for almost the entire
length of the state; carving out verdant Himalayan temperate and
tropical river valleys. The emerald coloured river then forms the
border between Sikkim and West Bengal before joining the Brahmaputra
as a tributary in Bangladesh.
Darjeeling River Rafting
White Water Rafting is an adventurous
sport, which is relatively new in Darjeeling Hills, having being
introduced in 1991. The spills and chills of this sport is unmatched.
To experience the tempestuous mood of a river as it cascades headlong
into the rocks and down a slope is an unforgettable moment. White foam
produced from water as it gushes across stones and boulders gives
the sport its name.
Brahmaputra River Rafting,
Arunachal Pradesh
An exciting
journey down one of the world's greatest rivers, an option only for
the true adventurer. The river, after flowing gently eastwards through
Tibet, cuts the Greater Himalaya and the highest unclimbed mountain in
the world, Namche Barwa before it enters Arunachal Pradesh, where the
expedition begins, a few miles inside the line-of-control with China.
River Rafting Nepal
Nepal is a river
runner's paradise - no other country has such a choice of multi-day
trips, away from roads, in such magnificent mountain surroundings,
with warm rivers, a semi tropical climate, impressive geography,
exotic cultures, wildlife and friendly welcoming people.

Indian sub-continent. Came 1947, the year of partition and roughly two thirds of
the length of this river system was assigned to Pakistan. But the rivers still
take birth on the Indian side and still go crashing through the Himalayas to
create some of the most spectacular scenery to be found anywhere in the world.
