River Rafting is riding on the torrential river on an inflatable rubber boat. It's an adventure sport best enjoyed with professional rafters and trainers, staying at a beach camp next to the river. We will like to give you information here about various aspects of white water rafting and various camps being organized at Rishikesh for accommodation in natural and serene surroundings. The rafting season is generally from September-June, when the river is neither too wild nor too placid. First timers and non-swimmers are welcome on guided trips.Rafting is done mostly in imported rafts made of vulcanized rubber bodies reinforced by nylon fabric beneath an exterior of neoprene thus making it tough enough to withstand the battering it gets when it rams across the rocky boulders in the water. Rafting is done on rapids which is a white patch of foam on a flowing river caused by sudden gradient or by the river breadth getting constricted while flowing through a gorge between rocks or by a sudden increase or decrease in the volume of the water. Rapids are graded from 1 to 6 depending on the ease with which they can be negotiated, with 1 being the easiest. Rapids have been given interesting names like Golf Course, Three Blind Mice, Daniel's Dip, Sweet Sixteen, Marine Drive, Cross Fire and Roller Coaster. - Rafting Camps Classification of rapids Class 1 : an easy, slow-moving current Class 2 : small waves Class 3 : rapids have medium waves with some technical maneuvers required. Class 4 : rapids occur in a faster current, with bigger waves that are technical and scouting is sometimes recommended Class 5 : rapids have a very fast current, large waves and scouting is necessary Class 6 : rapids are virtually un-runnable, only attempted by professional racing teams Other activities, which can be done along with rafting at Rishikesh, are body surfing, cliff jumping, kayaking beach volleyball, trekking, camping, rock climbing, rappelling etc. Hotels/Resorts in Rishikesh Glasshouse on The Ganges, Rishikesh
