This is the trip people book on a Thursday. Two nights, one big river day, and you are back at your desk on Monday having actually done something.
The rafting stretch is Shivpuri to Rishikesh — 16 kilometres and roughly nine named rapids, Grade II to III depending on the season's flow. Every raft runs with a certified guide and a safety kayak, and the briefing is not a formality.
The camp is on the river, not a field near it. Bonfire, cliff jump, and a very early rappel and flying-fox session before the heat arrives.
Every day of the trip, with the hotel, the meals and the sightseeing written out. Nothing here is hidden behind a login.
Reach Rishikesh by late morning, transfer upriver to the camp and settle in. Afternoon safety briefing and gear fitting. Evening down to Parmarth Niketan for the aarti, back to the camp for a bonfire and dinner.
06:30 rappel and flying fox on the cliff behind camp. Breakfast, then the bus upriver to the Shivpuri put-in for the 16 km run — Three Blind Mice, Roller Coaster, Golf Course and Return to Sender — with a body-surfing stop and a cliff jump. Back at camp by late afternoon.
Breakfast and checkout. Morning at the Beatles Ashram — Chaurasi Kutia — and a walk across Laxman Jhula before the transfer to Haridwar or Dehradun.
The second list matters as much as the first. Read it before you compare our price with anybody else's.
Shared AC transfers from Haridwar, Rishikesh station or Dehradun airport, plus the camp shuttle to the rafting put-in. Private vehicles can be arranged at extra cost.

Left Friday night, back Monday morning, and did a 16 km river run and a cliff rappel in between. The safety briefing was thorough and the guides were properly certified — I asked to see it, they showed me without blinking. Camp was on the river, not near it.
