Rafting, by the kilometre
The distance is the decision. Longer runs mean bigger water, more rapids and a longer day — not simply more of the same river. Dronecraft runs add a drone crew filming you the whole way down.

Why book with us
Four things we do differently, all of which you can check before you pay us anything.
Sold by distance, not by package name
Every stretch has its kilometres, its put-in point, its grade and its price on the card. You are choosing a stretch of river, not a marketing tier.
We tell you when the river is shut
The Ganga closes through the monsoon. Our booking button closes with it, and the strap at the top of this page says so every day of the year.
Limits stated before you book
Minimum age, minimum and maximum weight, and what the grade actually means. Nobody arrives at the put-in to be turned away.
One number, one person
Your enquiry goes to a real WhatsApp thread with the people running the raft, not a call centre. Your details are saved either way.

What people say afterwards
“Booked the 16 km on a Saturday with eight of us, half of whom couldn't swim. The guide talked the nervous ones through every rapid before we hit it. Nobody wanted to get out at the end.”
“What sold me was that the site told me the age limit and the weight limit before I paid anything. Every other operator made me call to find out.”
“24 km is a long day and they were honest about that on the phone. Double Trouble is no joke. Would do it again with a bit more sleep.”
“Stayed two nights at the Byasi camp and rafted in the morning. Waking up on the sand with the river right there is the part I keep telling people about.”
