Situated on the banks of the mighty Ganga, getting to the camp is in itself an experience. In an effort to maintain the grandeur of an isolated beach and jungle camp, it is situated away from the nearest road head on the Rishikesh-Badrinath highway.
The camp, along with the property attached, would be the largest on the river including 2 beaches, a perennial green field & a waterfall close by. One has to walk for approximately 2km (30 mins), crossing a quaint jhoola pul (suspended bridge) and the age old pilgrim’s path to Badrinath to reach the camp.
Accommodation is on twin sharing basis in comfortably large tents with independent toilets and separate hot and cold showers. The kitchen serves 3 meals a day, buffet style & the buffet may be either Indian, Chinese, Continental or local Pahari food.
With its peaceful setting and serene ambience, the camp is also ideal for meditation and yoga sessions, for both, the expert practiotioners as well as for the inspiring beginners. Sessions can be organized on request in collaboration with specialists from Rishikesh.
Rafting Routes
- Stretch 1: Devprayag - Camp Ganga Riviera
Starting at Devprayag, where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers meet in a holy confluence to form the Ganga, this is a long calm section, entirely in a gorge - a perfect calm stretch for plenty of body-surfing. It is especially good for bird watching, photography and spotting wild life. Midway, we stop at the beautiful little village of Byaschatti with a pristine stretch of river beach.
- Stretch 2: Camp Ganga Riviera - Marine Drive
Starting from the camp. Daniel's Dip at Kaudiyala to begin with & then the biggest rapid on the Ganga - ‘The Wall’. A stop over before the rapid where our raft guides inspect the rapid and decide on the best currents to catch. This rapid is dealt with differently almost everyday!
- Stretch 3: Marine Drive - Shivpuri
The most frequented stretch of rafting, starts with the exciting ‘Three Blind Mice’, a succession of 3 exciting rapids, then an unforgettable stretch of body surfing where one can actually jump in with the waves and swim with slight currents and fast flowing river water.
- Stretch 4: Shivpuri - NIM Beach, Rishikesh
The most exciting section of rafting including the famous ‘Roller Coaster’ and ‘Golf Course’ rapids along with the rapids ‘Club House’ & 'Initiation'. A stopover at a cliff jumping point makes an exciting end to this stretch.
In House Activities
White Water Rafting
At the camp, one can choose between 4 stretches of rafting. Some sections with some fast action white water rapids, others more calm with opportunities for plenty of budysurfing and birdwatching.
Kayaking
Smacking of individuality, Kayaking is a one-person sport requiring a big heart & great love for the water. We have our own kayaks, trained instructors and some placid stretches of the river around the camp.
Rappelling
A 50 ft high rock face with good footholds and slight overhangs, instructors to guide you in usage of all equipment and all safety procedures.
Rock Climbing
Our natural rock climbing surface has enough natural cracks and holds to encourage inexperienced enthusiasts as well as overhangs and tricky spots to challenge seasoned climbers.
Water Fall
Unique to the camp, the upstream hike in knee deep flowing water to the water fall is an activity that truly makes the stay at camp unforgettable.
Trekking
The camp is surrounded by pristine forest with numerous trails and paths that one can wander on on foot. The natural surroundings offer great opportunity to spot some birds and wildlife.
Cliff Jumping
We have cliff jumping points ranging from 5ft - 40 ft all along the river side. An exhilerating experience as well as a challenge, leading to a great sense of achievement and overcoming fear.
Camping
Comfortable tented accommodation next to the River Ganga with long stretches of sandy river beaches, green fields, forest trails and a host of adventure activities.
