Story
Ganga Banks (Shivpuri,approx 20 kms from Rishikesh) is a prime candidate for starting off with River Rafting. With rapids of grade 3, 4 and 5, you can get hands-on experience battling the rapids. With an extremely scenic view, overnight camping in tents and bonfires, this is a Rafting Trip that is not to be missed.
Ganga River is one of the prime rivers of India and is declared as the National River of India. It flows east through the Gangetic plains of Northern India into the country of Bangladesh. The river has immense religious significance and considered as the holy river of the Hindus. Historically too the river is important as many important cities and capitals have been located along its banks. The Ganga sustains one of the world's highest densities of population and drains an area of approximately 1000000 sq. kms.
