Our kayak school conducts white water kayak courses for beginners and intermediate paddlers. These kayak courses are conducted at our base in Shivpuri near Rishikesh, India, and at our camp in the Tons Valley.
Our kayak courses are residential courses, which are carefully structured by white water kayak professionals. All our kayak courses ensure maximum kayaking time on the river. Proper theory instructions explain the concepts, river hydraulics, river reading patterns, and emphasis is given for applying the techniques and instructions on the river.
