About the Activity (cont)

Chamoli situated near the Hindu pilgrimage center of Badrinath begins your excursion for some real rafting adventure and ends at Rudraprayag, the place best known as the convergence point of Alaknanda and Mandakini. Known for its wild nature, however this place maintains a balance, while there are Grades I and II for beginners. Grade III, IV and IV+ are definitely for some advanced rafters who are ready to dive in the gushing tides. One can quench his thirst for some real action- real thrill on the famed stretch of Hillary Fall, KaKad Fall and Wall.

About the Activity (cont)

• What can be more welcoming then a bonfire right outside your camp, on the banks of this gigantic river with a sky dazzled with stars above. It is a blend of all these combinations that makes this an experience of a life time. Rishikesh-Alaknanda is also known for its abundance of flora and fauna. Don’t be startled if you ear an elephant’s trumpet echoing in the forest. The thick forest running parallel to the river gives a scenic background to this nature’s wonder.
