They told me they would pick me up at my hotel at 7:30 in which they did and were on time. The road to the river town is horrible, but that wasn’t the problem. Once I got to the Rafting location (around 11am) they made me wait two hours and 15 minutes until the other participants arrived. I have no idea how or why times were not coordinated so that everyone arrived around the same time. They spoke very, very little English so communication was extremely difficult. Finally at 1:15 seven other participants arrived and we were able to start. I had a waterproof bag in which I put a change of clothes so I could change into dry clothes at the end of the tour. I was going to put my cell phone in there. But the guide suggested we all put our phones in his “waterproof box “because there is an area on the river in which we could take pictures and he could easily hand them out.. We all put our cameras into his box. The guide took my waterproof bag and placed it inside of his waterproof bag. On the second set of rapids (which I was told was a cat 3+) we tipped completely over. All of us were shocked but ok. Many of us received bumps, bruises, and scrapes. We finally get back in the raft and complete a few more rapids before coming to the part of the river in which we can take photos. The guide proceeds to open up his “waterproof box “to find that is completely full of water. I have an iPhone 15 so my phone was fine however, there were many others who’s phones and cameras were completely ruined, including our guides cell phone. The river and rapids were fun. The guide, tour company, communication and lack of education was appalling! I would never suggest booking this company. There are a bunch of companies to chose from. Steer clear of Himalayan Adventure Treks & Tours!

It was amazing holiday for me and my wife. Bhagwat was so helpful and explained everything very smoothly. Guide Kapil and driver Subas was so cheerful person.
