- Suits

Most riverside camps sit around Shivpuri, upstream of Rishikesh town, on the sandy banks or the slopes above the Ganga. A typical stay is a tent for two or three, meals at the camp, a bonfire in the evening and rafting the next morning from almost the camp's doorstep.
Camps range from simple Swiss tents with shared washrooms to cottages and tents with attached bathrooms. We match the camp to your group's comfort level and budget and book it with the rafting and transport.
Good to know
- Ask whether tents have attached washrooms, it changes the experience for families
- Evenings by the river get cool from October to March, carry a warm layer
- Riverside camping pauses during the monsoon for safety, roughly July and August
- Camps are quiet zones at night; loud music rules vary by camp
For groups
- Most camps can take a whole group of 20 to 60 together, so the bonfire is yours
- Tents are usually shared by two or three, which keeps the cost per person low
- The usual format from Delhi NCR is one night: leave early, raft, camp, return next evening
- Tell us about dietary needs, camps serve set meals and need notice for Jain food
