White Water Rafting
Bump and glide down Pakistan’s rivers in eight-person rafts, each guided by an experienced Himalayan Holidays instructor.
The most social adrenaline sport
White water rafting is the most popular and most social of adrenaline sports — and for our crew it is a way of life. All year round you will find us making the most of the ever-changing rapids and exhilarating stretches of white water in the north.
Rafts are large inflatable craft built to carry up to eight people down rivers of varying difficulty. Each boat is guided by one of our instructors, who knows the river and its obstacles. You work together as a team to bump and glide along the river’s natural course, through the wild rapids Pakistan’s rivers are famous for.
Our guides’ experience lets us offer different trips depending on river levels and conditions through the year — from gentle family floats to technical grade 5 runs.
