Meet at White World Expeditions

Your rafting adventure begins when you arrive at White World Expeditions and complete the necessary registration and waiver formalities. After signing the required documents, you will meet your Trip Leader and rafting team.

We then drive approximately 15 minutes to the rafting starting point known as Phool Chatti. Upon arrival at the riverside, you will be provided with all essential rafting equipment including helmets, life jackets (PFDs), and paddles.

Before entering the river, your Trip Leader will conduct a detailed safety briefing—one of the most important parts of the trip. During this session, you will learn what to do, when to do it, and why it matters while rafting. Practical demonstrations and real-time practice will also be conducted on the river to help you feel confident and prepared.

This beginner-friendly rafting section on the Ganga River features Grade I and Grade II+ rapids and includes approximately five fun rapids such as Club House, Cash Flow, Jail No Bail (Initiation), Double Trouble, and Good Bye.

Your rafting journey concludes at NIM Beach, located just before the Lakshman Jhula Bridge. After a quick change of clothes, we drive you back to White World Expeditions, which takes approximately 15 minutes.
