BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
The jacket and the helmet are not optional
A licensed operator will not put you on the water without both, and neither will a river guide who intends to keep their licence. If anybody offers you a boat without them, that is the whole answer about that operator.
You do not need to be able to swim
A properly fitted life jacket floats you whether you can swim or not, which is why the age limit is a rule and swimming is not. What matters far more is staying calm in cold water for thirty seconds.
If you go in: feet first, on your back
Point your feet downstream so they take the rocks instead of your head, lie back, and hold on to your jacket. Do not try to stand up in moving water — a foot wedged between rocks is how people drown in rivers they could have floated down.
The guide's commands are not suggestions
Forward, back, get down, high side — these come a second or two before they matter and a raft only works if everyone moves together. Listen to the safety talk even if you have rafted before; the rapids differ.
Nothing to drink beforehand
Alcohol and cold fast water are a genuinely dangerous combination, and any operator worth booking will refuse you.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Solid operator.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Worth every rupee.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would send friends their way.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Would send friends their way.

Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Questions people ask

Around 8 °C — it is glacier melt. Full wetsuits are issued and a swim is genuinely shocking rather than merely unpleasant. People do come out of the raft.
