Where

Shivpuri, Byasi
& the rafting belt

The camps sit upriver between roughly Shivpuri (16 km) and Byasi (30 km), set on beaches and forested banks away from town traffic. This is exactly where the classic 16 km rafting run launches, so a camp night flows straight into a morning on the water.

We match you to a camp by comfort level, group and season, and can add rafting, transfers from Rishikesh, Haridwar or Dehradun, and the Ganga aarti on the way back — all in one quote.

Stays we’ve vetted

Clean, well-located camps, hotels and resorts we book regularly — no surprises on arrival.

Right area, right budget

We match you to Tapovan, Laxman Jhula, Muni Ki Reti or a riverside camp based on your plan, not a commission.

Most are upriver around Shivpuri and Byasi, roughly 16–30 km from Rishikesh town, on forested banks by the Ganga. This is the launch area for the classic 16 km rafting run, which is why camps and rafting pair so well.

Yes — riverside and luxury camps have proper beds, comfortable Swiss tents (some ensuite), and meals included. We book only camps we’ve vetted for cleanliness, location and safety, and can recommend quieter, more comfortable options for families and couples.

September to June, matching the rafting season. Camps usually close during the peak monsoon (July–August) when the river runs high and banks can flood. Winter nights are cold — the bonfire helps — so pack warm layers.

Yes, and it’s the ideal pairing — the camps sit right by the rafting stretch. Camp overnight, raft the next morning, and add the Ganga aarti on the way back. Our 2-day package does exactly this.
