Garhwal River Rafting

The Indian sub-continent perhaps had the largest network of rivers in the world. The northern rivers with their origins in the lofty Himalayas provide an exciting adventure for the white water enthusiasts. These rivers race, surge, whirl, froth and crash over and around boulders, as though rushing to get to the freedom of the Great Plains, rejoicing in their escape from captivity of the mountains.

Of all the rivers, Ganga is the most beautiful river. The mighty Ganges originates from Gaumukh in Garhwal region of the Himalayas. It is a superb river for inflatable rafts. Rafting on its water of wisdom is certainly an unusual experience.
