Camp Games: For the sports freak, there's
enough to keep the energies charged. Take your pick from Volleyball,
Badminton, Carom, Dart and Chess. Or perhaps, simply laze on the hammock and
let your thoughts drift with the sound of the
flowing river. Evenings at the Camp: Loosen
up in the evening with the hip swinging ‘n’ singing session, complete with
bonfire at the camp beach. Or participate in one of the campfire games. And
if there's a musician in any of you, there's always the option of carrying
your instrument and creating your own ambience. Then there is always getting
involved in Levitation, Knots, Plank Bridge and
Boston Lap games to name a few of the campfire games.
![]() Rock Climbing & Rappelling: In this basic class the fundamentals of technical rock climbing/rappelling; knots, top ropes, belaying and rappelling, also basic friction, face and crack climbing techniques are covered. After practicing the basics, you'll follow your instructor on an easy but exhilarating multi-pitch climb, as part of a rope team. Body surfing /swimming - Take a dip in the river and let yourself afloat. The current is just right for even a novice to handle. Or try the sport of body surfing in the baby rapids. Even the non swimmers can try out the sport, of course with a life jacket on. We even have a few tube floats on which you can relax in the middle of the river. Of course we'll tie you and the float to something at the beach to make sure you don't get carried away with the current. Night Trek (1 km) - Pay obeisance to Lord Shiva right in the middle of the jungle, after making your way over a small suspension bridge in the middle of the night. You may even get to see or maybe hear an odd barking deer. Visits to the Waterfalls - All along the road up in the mountains there are hidden waterfalls, some perennial, some seasonal. You can ask anyone from the camp to take you to one of the many falls that we have located in case waterfalls are your fascination. Trekking to Nearby Garhwali Village: This is an interesting trek of duration of 2 hrs. to a very small Garhwali village, which will make you aware of the life style of Garhwalis, the flora and fauna of that region. Moreover this trek will be a Bird Watching activity. Visit to Stalactite and Stalagmites Caves: It's a small drive of around one hour to Stalactite & Stalagmite caves, which is near Guller. On your way back you can visit Vashishth Caves for which the vehicle would drop you at Guller and you have to walk around 250 metres to visit the place. A trip to Devprayag to experience the confluence of the Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda Rivers where the Ganges emerges is a spectacular sight. |

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. Thank you both very much for organising
it, we know what a lot of work it was! |
