Shivpuri and Rishikesh Rafting Rapids
It is interesting to note that there are various adventurous river rapids in Rishikesh and Shivpuri that have been given different names and their difficulty level keeps on changing all round the year. The ones which are difficult are attempted by the best river guides. Dangerous ones are avoided because safety is the biggest concern.
In the winters, Daniel's Dip is the most dangerous river rafting rapid located in Kaudiyala, Rishikesh. Most importantly in January and February, hitting the main point of this rapid can be really fatal.
In tourist season which is October to November and March to April, the Wall Rapid in Rishikesh is the most difficult one, as there are potential dangerous spots in it. Golf Course Rapid is exciting and enjoyable.
Difficulty Level of Ganges River Rapids
- The length of the rapid, so in case there is an “unplanned” swim for one or more participants, how long swim it will be.
- How far is the next rapid? Ganges is a pool drop river, so for most rapids there is a nice placid pool section which is why, Wall Rapid can be less dangerous than Golf course, as immediately after Golf Course, there is Club House Rapid.
- How tight is the line, i.e., if the raft veers off the planned route, how wide it can veer off. On the Ganges, only Wall has tight line. Other rapids are more or less okay.
- Are there any obstructions, rocks, etc.? On Ganges, there is hardly any rapid which has this danger which is why Ganges is considered as a very safe river for rafting.
- Are there any potentially sticky spots? Any place where a person can get stuck or beaten up? Again on Ganges such stuff is less. On Wall Rapid, there is a sticky edge on the left side. The record of being stuck in there is more than 7 hours. Overall, Ganges is a class III kind of river with ample safe rapids.
If you want to experience some more difficult river rapids and want to take your adventure to the highest level, then you should visit upper Alaknanda section, i.e., Chamoli-Rudraprayag area near Rishikesh Uttarakhand.
