Tehri Garhwal with its lofty mountains and turbulent rivers is an excellent site for trekking, mountaineering, and water sports like river rafting and cannoing. The sacred river Ganga and its tributaries Alaknanda and Bhagirathi, meeting at Deo Prayag, offer one of the greatest and most challenging adventures in the form of white water river rafting. Down river from Deo Prayag, the Ganga transforms into a pool drop river. This stretch is about 70 km from Rishikesh and virtually offers an exciting adventure to the amatuer and the novice. GMVN conducts river rafting courses at Kaudiyala.
