White water rafting trips come in a number of different guises, and which one you choose largely depends on your experience, fitness and levels of gung-ho. At one end of the scale are the rapid getaway 1-3 day long adrenaline trips, the supreme example of which are the Ganga and Tons rivers – a roller coaster ride which combines excellent whitewater with camping by the river, with campfire barbecues thrown in.
Then, there are multi-day trips, which combine thrills with access to territory you couldn’t visit in any other way. This is expedition, or wilderness rafting where you don’t see anybody for 3-6 days, with technical rafting of Grade 3 and 4 (on some rivers, the odd Grade 5). The Alaknanda, Bhagirathi, Kali/Sarda, Zanskar and Brahmaputra rivers are such trips.
