Vishnuprayag

The lakeside views in Nainital are incredibly peaceful, especially during the early morning hours when the mist is still on the water. It’s a great place to just sit and relax with a book. Very well managed.

Hello! We were looking for a budget-friendly trip plan when we came across Thrillophilia, which was suggested to us by friends. This spectacular 5 Days 4 Nights Alaknanda River Rafting Expedition provided a chilling experience as we waved our way down the gorgeous course of the Alaknanda river in the raft, getting hit by the glacial water. While rafting through Hillary Fall and Kakkar Falls, we experienced chills. While camping along its beaches and experiencing a spiritual aura at the hallowed "Prayag" that gives birth to the holy river Ganga, we were completely engulfed by the rhythmic sound of the flowing river waters relaxing the ears. I highly recommend thrillophilia for its exemplary services.

We were welcomed with a refreshing drink. Post that we were explained about rules of river rafting. This was crucial step as it was very useful later on. Other than rafting, we also had cliff jumping and body surfing. We played beach volleyball as well. Food, i.e. breakfast and dinner were provided, but it was not good. On all nights there was bonfire in the camp site. Accommodation was good with a nice beach side luxury camp.

This trip took us through a number of Grade III, IV to IV+ rapids. For those who do not know about the grades, these are the levels of difficulty with rafting. These included the famous Hillary Fall and the Kakkar Fall. It was a thrilling experience.

This trip actually starts from the place called Chamoli. This is actually situated near the sacred Badrinath temple. The trip ends at Rudraprayag. Rudraprayag is the convergence of the Alaknanda and Madakini rivers.

The Day one of our trip started with a drive from Haridwar to Jayalgarh. After breakfast at Jayalgarh, we were taught about the basics of rafting, and after a brief session, we started to report to our leader. After lunch we had a basic rafting at the Lower Alaknanda. This was more of a teaching session. After sleeping that night in camp, the next morning we went to Chamoli where we rafter in the Upper Alaknanda until noon and moved to Nandaprayog. After a bit of sight seeing and knowing local culture of Nandaprayog, we spent the night again in tents. The Day 3 was the most challenging day, we rafted from Nandaprayog to Karanprayag. It was super tough and exhausting. However, it was fun. The next day was higher grafe rafting through 10-12 rapids and then stay at Gauchar. The final day ended with Grade 5 rafting at the Kakkar Fall, which is the show stopper of this adventure. After that we went back to Rishikesh.
