The Alaknanda owes its existence to the Satopanth and Bhagirath Kharak glaciers at whose confluence it arises out of. The river travels about 200 km till Devprayag where it meets the Bhagirathi from where we have the Ganges flow. The rafting on the Alaknandna has been an exciting affair for the thrill seeker owing to its large volume and fast flow. With the Rafting put in point just off Rudraprayag,  the river provides fors some ver exciting rapids from grade II to IV.

With GIO Camp High 5 at Jayalgarh on the river banks as the base of most of these trips, rafting on the Alaknanda is an  exciting adventure options with many other avenues of adventure that include Cliff Jumping, Body Surfing and Kayaking amongst others. The camp is far away from the madding crowd and makes for a great getaway for  some peace, solitude and riveting adventure. While there are some exciting rapids to choose from also one gets to see some beautiful gorge sections that the river has carved through the solid rock in its inexorable downward journey.
