The Camp is located in the wilderness next to the River Ganga. Keep the river clean and please do not throw anything in the river. Do not use soap or shampoo at the riverside.

Do not wander near the river or get in to it without a life jacket and especially not at night, not even with a life jacket.

Waterfront safety - The water can be really inviting at times, especially under the mid day sun, but you must be very careful at all times. The riverside beach does not decline like a regular sea beach but very abruptly at certain places and has quick sand at other places.

When you decide to go swimming or enjoy yourself with the tube floats, please wear a life jacket. Please inform the camp lifeguard to oversee the safety aspect. Also don't swim too far out. The current can take you swiftly downstream.

It is everyone's responsibility to keep an eye on the children at the camp.

There is no electricity at the camp please do not forget to organise / carry a torch for your self.

Respect the environment and keep your surroundings clean. Please follow the rules of the great outdoors, take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints. Do ensure all litter is disposed sensibly. Waste bins are kept all over the camp.

Ensure that your tents are zipped when not in use as freak and sudden sandstorms are common.

Please follow the meal schedules at the camp. Leave the cutlery in the dining area and not in the sand on the beach as spoons / forks tend to get lost to be discovered two years hence if we are lucky.

Leave nothing on the sand at the beach, it tends to disappear and hard to find. Any valuables may be deposited with the kitchen staff for safe keep.

Nylon/synthetic shorts, T-shirts and floaters are better than cotton for the river. For other times adequate sporty clothes and footwear are required. Personal toiletries & medications are advised.

Anyone consuming alcohol before a rafting trip will not be allowed on the raft.

People with problems of Asthma, Heart ailments and any other disorder like joint problems, arthritis should inform in advance and seek medical advice about getting on to the raft and taking up physically demanding activities.

The camp has common dry pit toilets, which are sanitised by use of lime powder (CHUNA). After using them please make sure you dump a little of the lime from the sack kept in the area. Please leave the loos clean.

Non-bathers are encouraged at the camp and bathing in the river must be soap free.

The Rapids on the river are classified under six grades and the river Ganga has rapids up to a level of four, five being only for professional runners and six being not advised to be attempted even by professionals.

Your guides on the raft also commonly referred to as river runners are professionally qualified experts who have been certified by the Department of Tourism and have undergone a mandatory First Aid and CPR course to handle any sort of eventuality. And not forgetting to mention they have countless no of times rafted on the river with thousands of people. Please listen to them carefully and always follow their commands in totality.

The rapids on the river are natural challenges presented by the river and by safely negotiating these challenges is the ultimate objective of white water rafting as an adventure sport. Precise understanding of the correct path to take while in a rapid is the main reasons of taking a professional river runner on the rafts. However the river behaviour changes every passing minute and a raft may flip white negotiating a rapid. This may result in some or all the people on the raft to be thrown overboard.

In case of a flip follow these simple pointers

Do not panic, you are always wearing a life jacket, which will always keep you afloat. Remember you can not down it is impossible.

Most rapids on the Ganga are flush out rapids; you will be thrown out of the rapid quickly.

Do not shout for help, you will only end up gulping water.

Once flushed out of the rapid, flow with your feet down stream.

We wish you a pleasant time at the Camp RapidFire
