River Rafting

Kaudiyala River Rafting Trip From Kaudiyala to Rishikesh (34 km): Full Day Rafting in the Ganga River Approximate time: 5–6 hours in the Ganga River

River rafting and whitewater rafting are popular activities in Uttarakhand’s Rishikesh. It is the best and safest rafting experience in Uttarakhand, India. During the winter and summer months, the Ganga rapids attract adventure seekers.

According to the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board, rafting is available from September 15th to June 30th of each year. Winter and summer rafting are the best options.

Kaudiyala River Rafting is a 34-kilometer-long, full-day rafting trip that is best experienced between October and the first week of May. Winter river rafting is also known as whitewater rafting.

The Ganga water is clean from October to March, so we say white rafting during this time, and river rafting from March to June in Rishikesh rafting. The Ganga water is gradually changing to muddy water. Rafting and whitewater rafting are outdoor recreational activities that involve the use of an inflatable raft.
