Shivpuri literally translates to
the abode of Lord Shiva. It is the starting point of the rafting course and is
located at a stretch of 16 kilometers from the city of Rishikesh. Shivpuri sees
a lot of tourist activity day-in and day-out courtesy its significance as the
most popular starting point.
This point serves as the ideal
launch-pad for your water rafting adventure. Rafting from Shivpuri till
LaxmanJhula involves a 16 kilometer stretch covering some of the most enticing
Grade III and III+ rapids in a little close to three hours. This trip
encompasses rapids like return to sender, golf course, roller coaster, club
house, double trouble etc. During the course of your rafting endeavor you will
also come across many Ghats, temples and ashrams. It would take approximately 3
hours to complete the expedition.
The ideal season in Shivpuri
commences in October and ends in mid June. Shivpuri is ideal for non-swimmers
as there are several water patches/recovery pools after the major rapids
ensuring your safety even in the case of the raft flipping over. You can enjoy
rafting in groups of people over the age of 14 years including families,
college groups, corporate groups etc. Shivpuri’s biggest pull is the
substantial negation of the risk factor usually involved in the other starting
points which is why families prefer it!
For an adventurous getaway, it is always advised to pick Shivpuri as your starting point.
