About this experience
Above Rishikesh the Ganga is still a mountain river — cold, green and fast, squeezed between forested ridges. The stretch from Shivpuri down to Rishikesh is the classic run, around 16 km of grade II and III rapids with names like Roller Coaster, Golf Course and Club House, broken up by long calm pools where you can drift and swim.
