River Adventure Experiences
India's rivers, two ways: white water rafting on the Ganga at Rishikesh in graded 9, 12, and 16km runs, and quiet-water kayaking through the Alleppey backwaters and off Varkala. Entry paddles start at Rs.350 and even the big rafting runs stay under Rs.2,000, making this the best value-per-memory category in the catalogue.
The white water end
Rishikesh grades by distance: the 9km beginner run covers the classic rapids with maximum splash and minimum terror, the 12km adds bigger water, and the 16km high-intensity stretch is for repeat rafters. All include raft, guide, gear, and safety kayakers. Season runs roughly September to June.
The calm water end
Alleppey kayaking slides through backwater canals past village life the houseboats can't reach; Varkala adds sea-facing paddles. No experience needed, minimal fitness, maximum photographs. These suit couples and parents as much as adventure crowds.
Gifting it
Rafting is the classic group gift out of Delhi NCR (Rishikesh is two hours away); kayaking slots into any Kerala trip via the Kochi catalogue. Vouchers are valid 12 months, comfortably covering the rafting season.

Frequently asked questions
Which rafting distance should I gift?
9km for first-timers and families, 12km for the balanced thrill, 16km for the committed. All include guide, gear, and briefing; swimmers and non-swimmers alike raft with life jackets.
Is the kayaking suitable for beginners?
Completely. Alleppey and Varkala paddles are guided, calm-water routes with basic instruction included. If they can sit and paddle, they're qualified.
How does the voucher work?
Every experience is delivered as a gift voucher, either an instant e-voucher emailed within 30 seconds of payment, or a hand-finished premium gift box couriered to any Indian address. The recipient books their own date directly with the operator. Vouchers are valid 12 months from purchase.
Should I pick the premium gift box or the e-voucher?
Pick the premium gift box when there's an in-person gifting moment: a ribbon-tied presentation box with the experience certificate inside, next-day delivery in most major cities. Pick the e-voucher for last-minute or long-distance gifting: it emails instantly and can be forwarded with a personal message.
Can I buy from outside India?
