THE BHAGIRATHI RIVER RAFTING EXPEDITION- 5 days
An excellent option for the adventure seeker down the Ganga and
Bhagirathi rivers, the latter being one of the main tributaries
of the Ganga river. We drive past the dam at Tehri to reach our
put-in 18kms below the Tehri dam downstream of the Paindas dam.
The pleasure of travelling down a remote part of this river make
it a very exciting trip, besides the whitewater which will leave
you wanting more. We raft down the lower Bhagirathi gorge
(mostly Grades 3 and 4) with rapids like “Elephant rock”, “The
Chute”, “Sharp S”, “Confluence rapids” and many more, till its
confluence with the Alaknanda at Devprayag to form the Ganga. A
must -do if you are looking for a great river run in Asia.
