Rafting in the Ganges is an experience of a lifetime for there are several fond memories associated with it. I should admit the fact that wherever we took to rafting, along the banks of the river Ganga, it was harsh as the waters are ruthless and flow at a dying speed. It was the in Shivpuri that the current was so strong that my friend Jack fell off the boat, our trained guide helped to overcome the hazard, through my friend now insists upon, that he could have successfully managed things without the guide. However, rafting from Shivpuri to Rishikesh though was pain staking but simultaneously it was also fun, as the river glided down at a constant rhythm. I can still recall the cold nights that I have spent in camps set along the river Ganga and the delectable local cuisines that I have tasted.
