Heritage Getaways brings to you yet another fine adventure, this time on the Alaknanda River . The first camp of its kind on this near perfect location, aiming at delivering an unforgettable outdoor experience to all our guests.
The camp is located on a stunning, white sandy, beach surrounded by beautiful villages, fields and forests, beside a pristine meadow on the banks of the mighty Alaknanda river, which dominates the sight. This safari style, semi-permanent camp, provides everything one could ask for in the outdoors, keeping the environment in high regard. The accommodation here is as luxurious as possible under canvas tents.

2nd Day : An action packed day awaits you, as you rise and shine to the cacophony of the pristine surroundings. With your morning cup of tea you could try your hand at some Mahseer fishing; this legendry game fish is world famous for its sporting prowess and is certainly worth a shot.
After an early breakfast, we head out for some white water rafting, some fifteen kilometers ahead of camp. This section is an exciting one with plenty of Class 2 and Class 3 rapids as you raft through a part of the Srinagar town - through the wide beautiful valley with plenty of opportunities to jump into the river and perhaps even swim through a small rapid. There's even a section for kids (11 years and below), who join us some three kilometers before the camp for some smaller rapids. Raft into the camp, followed by the much-awaited lunch.
Activities in camp follow: beach volleyball, kayaking, rappelling and fishing.
As night falls the cooks prepare a barbeque, which is served around the bonfire followed by dinner.

3rd Day : Another great morning at camp, after a good breakfast we head down the Alaknanda to negotiate another great set of rapids before the end up the convergence of the Alaknanda with the Bhagirathi; a fine spot with the two rivers merging as you float past the temples of Devprayag. The rafting today takes about three hours with some impressive rapids along this section of river.
Lunch is served on the banks of the river - tents are available to change into dry clothing.
After lunch, proceed back to camp in time for some activities (Kayaking/Rappelling/Hike), followed by a bon-fire and dinner.
