Kayaking - We teach & nurture
Our whitewater kayaking base is located in Rishikesh. The river Ganges that flows through the town, is a beautiful clear water medium-high volume pool drop river with rapids that can be challenging and are yet forgiving. The river difficulty is up to class III+ mostly which is very suitable for learning to Kayak and improving whitewater kayaking skills.
Apart having numerous hotels with all kinds of budgets and amazing food options, Rishikesh is also strategically well located to be a gateway to other river trips that one may wish to plan.
Whether you are an absolute beginner looking to get introduced to Kayaking, or an elite pro paddler looking for multi-river excursions, we would be happy to connect with you and help you realize your dream adventures.
