Brahmpuri to NIM Beach is the shortest commercial stretch on the Ganga and the one we put nervous groups on. The rapids are real but forgiving, there are long calm pools between them for swimming and body surfing, and the whole thing is done inside two hours. If you have children, non-swimmers or someone who has spent the morning talking themselves out of it, this is the run.

Questions people ask

Do I need to know how to swim?

No. Everyone wears a life jacket, a certified guide is in every raft and a safety kayaker runs alongside. Most of our first-timers can't swim.

What is the minimum age?

10 years for this stretch. The 12 km Brahmpuri run is the gentlest and takes children from 10 with a parent in the same raft.

What happens if the river is closed on my date?

Rafting on the Ganga is suspended through the monsoon, usually from late June to mid-September. If your date falls in a closure we hold your enquiry and message you the moment bookings reopen.

Can I keep my phone with me?

No. Phones, wallets and keys go into a locker at the base — the water gets everywhere. Our guide carries a waterproof camera if you want photos.
