The rivers in Himalayas cover a long distance, cutting huge rocks, falling from a great height, churning thick bubbles, producing great noises and passing through calm banks providing necessary bend, curves and rapids to make the sport more electrifying.
Snow-fed Himalayan Rivers are the perfect place for River Rafting or White Water Rafting Tours. Adventure River Rafting Tours in India can be conducted at Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Sikkim. Indus and Zanskar rivers and their major tributaries are the best option for river rafting in Jammu and Kashmir. The best stretch of Indus is between Spituk and Saspol and that of Zanskar is between Padum and Nimo. In Himachal Pradesh, you can enjoy river rafting tours in Rivers Chandrabhaga in Lahaul, Satluj in Shimla, Ravi in Chamba and Beas in Kullu. Teesta River in Sikkim and Darjeeling and Brahmaputra River in Arunachal Pradesh is popular for river rafting tours.
The best river rafting possibilities are on the River Ganga in Uttaranchal. The rivers Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meet a Devprayag and river from there is called Ganga. The 70 km stretch from Devprayag to Rishikesh offers many good stretches for river rafting both for experienced rafter as well as first timers. The best stretch is 36 km long from Kaudiyala to Rishikesh where you will come across at least 12 major rapids.
