| ACCOMMODATION FOR WHITEWATER RIVER RAFTING TRIP ON THE GANGES | GO TOP |
The Camp is a very scenic
beach camp by the Ganga river, located upstream from Rishikesh and before
Kaudiyala, in the Himalayan foothills. It stretches onto 800 meters of silver
sand beach, surrounded by thick forests and mountains, bright sunshine and constantly
flowing emerald green river Ganges. Night on the beach has its own mystic charm - starlit
sky, silhouette of the mountains, the moon shimmering on the river, the rippling sound of
water and the camp fire romance. This is a great way to explore the outdoors. |

Hi, We
are back in England attempting to get back into our daily routines! Well, we
had a fantastic trip. The rafting camp was great, the kids absolutely loved
it. They swam, built sandcastles and went rappelling! We met some really
nice people there and sang around the campfire. The rafting was good too,
Steve did the longer trip and me and the kids joined him for the float bit
down to Rishikesh. So, a great trip. |
