the central tributaries of the Ganga and meet Devprayag, frothing from their
racy fall. Their waters are grade IV to V, challenging the expert to carry on
the thrill. Down river from Devprayag, the Ganga changes into a lake drop
river.

allowing river rafters to pull up beside. The slopes on either side are covered
with oak, pine, spruce and fir, with the occasional village and its terraced
fields dotting the landscape. Wildlife can be sighted at a distance, specially
speckled Deer, Leopard, Monkeys, while multi hued butterflies flit among
flowering.
