The holy Ganga and Yamuna rivers, the Indus and its tributaries - the Chenab, Beas and Satluj, the Zanskar,the Sharda and the Teesta - all rivers of adventure, each an exciting experience for the river rafter. 

Sir Edmund Hillary with his "Ocean to Sky Expedition" from the Indian Ocean near Calcutta to the Ganga at its source gave his stamp of approval.  

For all thrill seekers, white water rafting is a popular sport on the Ganges. Rafting down the Ganga from Shivpuri take about three to five hours. 

The Satluj and the Beas in Himachal Pradesh offer an exciting challenge to adventurous amateurs, while the Teesta in Sikkim challenges the really experienced. The Indus in Ladakh offers the amateur a strikingly different experience.
