Discuss the rapids, not just the route name
Shivpuri is a familiar name in Rishikesh rafting planning. However, a familiar name does not tell you the exact trip being sold. Ask which stretch is planned and which rapids are normally encountered. A guide's route decision depends on the water on the day, not on a promise to run every named feature.
A first-time participant may be considered for some trips after assessment. That is different from saying every beginner is suitable. Tell the operator about nervous participants, swimming ability and any limitations before you choose.
Give the outing room in your schedule
A useful plan includes check-in, the launch transfer, briefing and rafting, followed by time to change and return. If you want to attend an evening activity in town, leave a buffer instead of planning a connection immediately after the advertised river time.
For groups, agree on the route before paying. One participant's desire for a stronger whitewater experience should not override another person's ability or consent.
What is included?
Your rafting booking includes a licensed, qualified guide, transport for the rafting outing, a life jacket, helmet and paddle. Hotel pickup is included where the location permits; collection may be from your hotel or the nearest suitable meeting point. Confirm the actual pickup arrangement in advance.
Water and a waterproof bag for a phone are available. Storage for luggage and extra clothing can be arranged on request. The phone bag is for a phone, not general luggage, and is not a guarantee against damage or loss. Photos and videos cost extra.
Briefing and equipment checks
Your registered, certified guide gives the pre-trip briefing and safety instructions. Life jackets, helmets and paddles are provided and checked for safety. You complete the required no-claim/consent form before rafting. Listen to all instructions and ask questions before launch; rafting is not risk-free.
Who can join?
Our participant age bracket is 14–60 years. Participants must be healthy; people with heart or lung problems are not eligible under our booking requirements. Tell us about any other relevant health, mobility or swimming concern privately before paying. Age eligibility alone does not guarantee participation: the guide must also assess suitability, equipment fit and conditions.
Tell us about swimming ability in advance. Non-swimmer acceptance is assessed for the actual trip. Read safety and eligibility and family planning.
Pickup and belongings
Send your hotel name and map pin. Pickup can be from the hotel or a nearby suitable point, depending on the location. Ask for bag and extra-clothing storage before the trip. Use location guidance and the packing checklist.
Shared and private bookings
Solo guests can join shared departures; at least four participants are needed to run a shared departure. Private raft bookings for groups need advance booking and a separate total-price quotation.
Read group planning or solo booking guidance.
Payment and changes
Advance payment is required to reserve rafting. The advance is non-refundable for customer cancellation. Refunds or a transfer/rescheduling of the booking may be provided only when weather problems affect the trip, subject to confirmation by the team. Read the cancellation policy before paying.
