Itinerary
Day 0: Arrive in Delhi
Day1: Stay at the Delhi Radisson hotel. Review trip itineraries and trip plan Q&A overnight train to Hadiwar
Day 02: Travel from Haridwar to Baghwan camp and visit camp Baghwan along the way
Day 3: Travel from Baghwan to Devprag. After a comprehensive safety briefing and packing the bags on the raft, we head out on the water. We start the trip on the Alaknanda River as it enters the last canyon stretch with good whitewater, featuring rapids such as 'Baghwan's Pillow', 'The Deadly Duos' and more until we reach Devprayag. It is a mild section from here until the campsite with a few rapids where you can body surf, swim, relax, and spot wildlife.
Day 04: Enjoy an easy day with small rapids. Great day to relax, soak in the sun, bodysurf and bird-watch. Raft time is approximately 35 km to Kaudiyala. Set up camp for the night on a beach at Kaudiyala.
Day 05: Raft down adrenaline pumping rapids like 'Daniel's Dip', 'The Wall', 'Three Blind Mice', 'Crossfire', 'Bodysurfing', 'Return to Sender', 'Roller Coaster', 'Golf Course', and lots of smaller ones too. We stop to have lunch and then continue to encounter the big rapids on the Ganga. We end the trip just before the famous Laxman Jhula in Rishikesh.
