River rafting in India means the Ganga at Rishikesh. The operators run out of Tapovan and the camps along the Shivpuri road, on stretches from the 9 km Brahmapuri float for families to the 16 km Shivpuri run most people book, and the longer Marine Drive and Kaudiyala sections for bigger rapids.
Season in India: Mid-September to June on the Ganga at Rishikesh. Rafting stops for the monsoon, roughly July to mid-September. October to November and March to May are the most comfortable; the water is cold from December to February.
