About Kaudiyala Rafting
Kaudiyala rafting is the longest day trip in Rishikesh, starting from Kaudiyala and ending at Nim Beach. This stretch features a challenging grade 4 rapid called "The Wall," requiring extra safety kayaks, which increases the cost. Due to the time commitment and physical exertion, it's less popular. A safer and more enjoyable alternative is the 25 km stretch from Marine Drive, offering a similar thrill with less risk and fatigue, making it a preferred choice for many adventurers.

The Kaudiyala rafting trip offers a thrilling adventure with its challenging Grade IV rapids, but be prepared for a long day. The extra safety kayaks and extended duration can be tiring. For a safer and less demanding option, consider the 25 km Marine Drive stretch.
