Overview

A short break built for people leaving Delhi on a Friday night. Two mornings of hatha practice on a riverside deck, two afternoons on the water, and enough unscheduled time that it still feels like a break rather than an itinerary.

The rafting runs the Shivpuri to Rishikesh stretch — grade II and III at normal levels, with Roller Coaster and Golf Course the named rapids. No experience is needed and no swimming ability is assumed; guides are river-certified and every guest wears a helmet and PFD.

Accommodation is a riverside camp at Byasi with twin-share tents on wooden platforms, attached bathrooms and no televisions.

Runs in: February, March, April, October, November, December. Outside that window we do not sell the trip rather than run it badly.

Questions about this trip

Answered from this departure's own numbers. Anything not here, the desk will tell you straight.

How hard is this trip, and who is it for?
We grade it Easy, on a four-step scale of Easy, Moderate, Challenging and Strenuous. That single word is a summary, not the answer — the answer is the 3-day plan above, which says what each day actually asks of you. Read it before you book, and if you are unsure whether it suits you, call the desk and describe your last comparable trip rather than guessing.
How many people will be on it?
Between 2 and 16. 2 is the minimum for a departure to run and 16 is the hard cap — we do not add seats to a date that is selling well. The seat counts on the dates table are live and come straight from the booking system.
When does it run, and why not the rest of the year?
February, March, April, October, November and December, and the next date open for booking is 9 Oct 2026. Outside that window we do not sell the trip rather than run it badly — passes under snow, a monsoon crossing or a shut ferry are reasons to move your dates, not to take your money.
Can I hold seats before I pay?
Yes. Pick a date, enter who is travelling, and the seats come off the live count for 15 minutes while you decide. Nothing is charged during the hold, and if you walk away it releases itself and the seats go back on sale.
How do I pay, and what happens after?
Online at the end of the booking flow, or over the phone with the trips desk during working hours if you would rather not pay on the web. Either way you get a booking reference, and the joining pack for your departure follows from the desk.
What if I have to cancel?
There is no blanket policy printed here, because permits, mountain lodges and internal flights are paid forward at different points on different departures — and quoting a single number would be a promise we could not keep on every date. The terms that apply to your departure are in your joining pack, and the desk will put them in writing before you pay if you ask.

Each one is linked to a booking on one of the departures above.

  • The rafting is genuinely fun and the guides are careful without being joyless. The camp is comfortable but basic — attached bathrooms, no air conditioning, and it does get warm in April. Go in and know that and you'll have a great time.

  • Left Delhi on Friday night and was on the deck doing sun salutations by half six on Saturday. Two river sessions, the aarti at Parmarth, and enough unstructured time that I came back rested rather than needing a holiday from the holiday.
