Insider tips
- ★Book during or just after the monsoon season (May–June, October–November) for optimal water levels and rapid intensity
- ★Arrive early to acclimate to the guides and equipment; the first rapid comes quickly after briefing
- ★Wear water shoes with good grip—the rocks are slippery and sharp transitions happen fast
- ★Go with a friend or small group; the camaraderie during the descent makes the experience richer

Who it's for
Best time to visit
October–November and May–June (monsoon shoulders) deliver ideal water volume and rapid challenge without extreme danger. Early morning departures (6–7 a.m.) avoid midday heat and crowding, and daylight is best for rappel safety and photography.
