It was cold but they gave us swimming clothes like the ones that use to surf and had a guy with us for support and help in a kayak riding around us. The view of the Ganges is amazing!!

We decided to go to Sonamarg. We found a driver at the standard price, and he drove us north to Manigam, where we saw a rafting operation. Manigam is only about a third of the way from Srinagar to Sonamarg, so I told him we want Sonamarg. The total was almost two hours. But there was no rafting in Sonamarg. Crowds of tourists were horseback riding around the meadows and glaciers there.
So we drove all the way back to Manigam and took our rafting experience there. It was excellent, and we were very pleased. However, because we arrived so late after our futile drive up to Sonamarg, the two of us had to pay for the full boat. There were no others to pair up with. It was only a bit more than two single rides would have been.Written 12 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- joel .9 contributionsI did an amazing 4-day trip with Team4Adventure in January 2023. I contacted them a few months before arriving in Rishikesh. I've done kayaking maybe 20 times in my life, but only flatwater, and only for a few hours at a time. After booking the trip with Team4Adventure I did have a few group lessons in my local swimming pool, mainly to get confortable with wet exits and T-rescues, although also to attempt to learn to roll independently (mostly unsuccessfully).
The trip really exceeded by expectations. The trip started after we drove from Rishikesh a few hours upstream to Srinagar (Uttarakhand). The next 4 days we spent kayaking down the river. I spent some of my time in a hardshell kayak, but did the bigger rapids in a 2-person inflatable 'ducky'. Really exhilarating for a beginner like me - lots of capsizing - but I felt really well-looked-after by the team, and always had a safety kayaker looking out for me. I mostly managed to wait for T-Rescues, although if I wet-exited that was ok too. Beautiful scenery throughout, and amazing campsites on mostly-deserted riverside beaches. The food was really good too - I was expecting sandwiches etc for dinner, but instead received 3-course feasts include some BBQ, with simpler sandwiches etc for lunch. I was warned that the water would be cold in January, but it really wasn't too bad - much better than the UK anyway.
The whole trip was great fun, with lots of 'off-the-beaten-track' experiences that I wouldn't usually have had as a tourist. We even rescued a rooster (see the picture) who was about to meet a watery grave, and kept it safe for the rest of the trip! Thanks for everything - was a really memorable trip!Written 1 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We enjoyed every second of our trip. We thought we have signed up for rafting but you have made us do trekking, cliff jumping, rock climbing. We are blown away by your hospitality and safety in every possible way. You are the best and we can't wait to have our next River trip with you. Special mention to Manish, Jammu and Rahul for giving us the delicious and nutritious food. We are glad we have chosen Expeditions India to do this trip and we highly recommend everyone.Written 4 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
