  Hi Prerna,

  Rafting is a super cool option, I really loved the thrill of crossing the rapids on raft.

  Now a days camps and providers have come up in hundreds wherein there are numerous options to choose from. Also there are several beaches where the camps have come up..

  Some of the camps do have wet pit flush toilet, depends on how much adventure you are willing to take.

  Hi Prerna,

  Answers inline.

  Can someone please let me know how safe is rafting,
  Varun: Very Safe I have done it 8 times and have done it with 7-8 year kids and also with olderlies. However for very small kids or oldies you can ask them to aboard on Bhrampuri (After this only the very small rapids remain)

  I and some friends don’t know swimming,
  Varun: You don’t need to know swimming, the life jacket does a very good job. Dont be scared to do body surfing with the life jacket on, its very safe.

  can we go there, also are kids allowed (How much age)
  Varun: Kids above 10 years are allowed on the Shivpuri to Ram Jhula Stretch, others you can get aboard from Bhrampuri to Ram Jhula

  , are there toilets there, what other activities can be organised…and also where can I make the bookings…?
  Varun: Some of the camps have toilets and very good facilities, try out http://vxplor.com/ , it had proper toilets/baths and very good arrangements.

  I know lots of questions,but I have more coming on my mind
  Varun: Bring them all on , I’ll be happy to answer all
