You arrive with the sound of the Ganga moving through rock, a steady voice pulling at the edge of camp light. Tents sit against a fringe of sal and acacia; evening bonfire smoke threads into a sky that cools fast after sunset. The camp serves a hot buffet, tea at dusk and the next morning a run of river awaits—either a 10 km or 16 km stretch from Marine Drive that cuts through classic Rishikesh rapids.
