River Ganges Beach Camp

Known as the white water capital of India, the Ganges near Shivpuri, Rishikesh offers an ideal location for white water sports. Only 250 Kms out of Delhi the site has various connections by road and rail.

The trip is based out of our semi permanent base camp on the Ganga which is 250 kms north of Delhi and 17 kms east of Rishikesh in Uttaranchal. The tented camp is on a pristine silver sand beach next to the emerald green waters of the Ganga. Surrounded by thick forests, abounding in a variety of bird and animal life its serenity and quietude make for a perfect weekend getaway to calm overworked nerves. It makes a convenient extension to other programmes in the same area.
