    Rapids in Devprayag to Rishikesh Expedition

    The Devprayag to Rishikesh rafting expedition covers nearly 70 km of the Ganga River over 3 days, making it one of the longest commercial rafting stretches in India.
    Unlike single-day trips, this expedition allows you to experience the river in its raw, untamed form — from calm waters and sandy beaches to thrilling Grade II, III, and even Grade III+ rapids.
    Each day unfolds new challenges, from warm-up rapids near Devprayag to iconic rapids closer to Rishikesh.

    • Devprayag Stretch (Grade II–III): Gentle yet exciting rapids to get used to paddling rhythm, perfect for building team coordination on Day 1.
    • Beas Ghat Section: Scenic and relatively calm waters, with occasional bouncy rapids, ideal for spotting migratory birds and enjoying long floats.
    • Kaudiyala Region (Grade III+): More challenging rapids like Black Money, Crossfire, and Three Blind Mice keep the adrenaline high.
    • Shivpuri to Rishikesh (Grade II–III+): Famous rapids including Return to Sender, Roller Coaster, Golf Course, Double Trouble, Club House, Initiation, and more.
    • Body Surfing Stretch (Grade I): A calmer part of the river where guests can jump into the Ganga, swim or float under guide supervision.

    (Note: Rapid sequence and intensity may vary with seasonal water levels. Professional guides will brief the team each day and ensure all safety measures are followed.)
