River Rafting in Rishikesh (Uttarakhand), also known as the Tapo Bhumi or the place for meditation, is an extremely popular adventure activity for people of all ages today. Rishikesh has over the years transformed into a destination for Adventure Activities, Beach Games, Rafting, Kayaking and Angling as well apart from being a town of religious significance. It is one of the popular pilgrimages for the people of Hindu faith. It is at this place the holy river Ganges leaves the mountains and prepares her to transverse through a long jou ey through the Gangetic plains. The town of Rishikesh stands at an altitude of 356 meters above sea level and along the river.
Snow Leopard Adventures runs its Rishikesh rafting on the Ganga River programmes from Leopard Beach Tented Camp - their deluxe wilde ess camp 250 km north east of New Delhi. Set in the foothills of the Himalayas by the Ganga River amid a thick Sal forest, Leopard Beach Tented Camp is located 16 km from the temple town of Rishikesh which was made famous by the Beatles who stayed here for a few months.
With a major chunk of the Himalayas in the country, India has excellent white water rafting potential including several rivers still awaiting first descent. This makes rafting in Rishikesh an attractive choice for adventure hunters. The variety of flora and fauna combined with the rich cultural heritage and hospitable people all along the Indian Himalayas make river trips in this region an unforgettable experience. Most of the river rafting itineraries can be combined with a trek, a wildlife safari and a cultural tour in the area.
Snow Leopard Adventures has organised a number of rafting trips in Rishikesh and at other destinations. They have also organised kayaking expeditions in Himalayas for overseas paddlers from North America, Europe and Australia. In fact, they have pioneered several demanding expeditions including first descents in the Indian Himalayas and have conducted over 45 training courses and expeditions for the Indian Armed Forces.
They provide complete logistical support for any river expedition in the Himalayas and our river gear includes imported self bailing rafts with all accessories and twelve white water plastic kayaks of different makes. Raft or road support is provided by their own professionals/ vehicles and we can organise evacuation by air in case of medical emergencies.
