Camp RapidFire is set up on a beach at the village Singthali some 39 kms from the town of Rishikesh. Here you can challenge and face the fury of some of the best rapids that the River Ganga has to offer. You can just choose to relax on the beach and bask in the sun by the river, going in for that very occasional swim in the river every now and then.
The route to Camp RapidFire is as follows……
Delhi – Ghaziabad - Merrut (Bypass) - Khatauli - Muzaffarnagar (Bypass) – Purkaji - Roorki - Haridwar - Rishikesh – (16 Kms) Shivpuri (Here is the first bridge on the river) – (this is the second bridge you cross) - Byasi (a small market area with row of dhabas & provisions shops on both sides of the road) - (Drive for 3 KMs from Byasi, you can actually follow your odometer from here, and on the your left, just when your meter shows that you are close to the end of 3 Kms, you will see two shops together one a STD PCO and another a small provisions shop, if you are attentive enough you will also see a Camp RapidFire board somewhere on your right as you arrive the Singthali Village) – Singthali Village, Camp RapidFire.
We provide for occupancy in 10 feet by 12 feet tented accommodation units, which have a centre table and two beds with mattresses and sleeping bags. Each unit is weather proof and well ventilated with roll up windows. At certain times we also extend occupancy by pitching additional accommodation units
The camp kitchen takes care of the meals in a buffet arrangement with a large spread. The meal pattern is generally vegetarian. Chinese and continental food is also served at the camp with prior information and request. Bottled water is procured for drinking and cooking purposes. Adequate supply of bottled drinking water is also maintained at the camp.
Keeping up with the forest department guidelines we have dry pit toilets (sanitized by lime powder) at one end of the camp which also houses bathing tents and general wash area. People at the camp generally prefer to bathe at the river but hot water is also made available on request.
Activities at the Camp RapidFire
We believe camping is a wonderful concept to enjoy nature and tourism with minimal impact on the environment. As such we outright promote the idea of camping in innovative designs to most of our clients.
White Water Rafting - You don't have to be an ace swimmer to be able to experience the thrill of rafting. Especially when you have our well equipped, expert team of friendly instructors who considers it beyond them to leave anything to chance. And you get to experience the sheer power of Ganges in a true adventurer style. A two day rafting expedition at Rishikesh with us would cover about 36 km of the river and you come back all full of the thrills of rapids like The Wall, Golf Course, Roller Coaster (Grade IV+ rapids).
Elementary Rock Climbing - And we'll also teach you how to beat lizards at making it to the top of a steep mountain, but of course in a more urbane manner. The technique is called rock climbing, where you learn to find your own niches and steadily climb your way to the top. You also get to learn how to land back on the surface and safely by rappelling, besides other exciting techniques as Bouldering and River Crossing.
Singthali Village trek - Experience a bit of Garhwali hospitality on your trek to this sleepy village and share a thing or two about different cultures and traditions. Or perhaps how their quiet life centers around this holy river. We promise by the end of your trip you wouldn't even realize that it took you two hours to trek up to the village! Apart from the Singthali Village trek there are endless opportunities for walking in the surrounding hills.
Body surfing /swimming - Take a dip in the river and let yourself afloat. The current is just right for even a novice to handle. Or try the sport of body surfing in the baby rapids. Even the non swimmers can try out the sport, of course with a life jacket on. We even have a few tube floats on which you can relax in the middle of the river. Of course we'll tie you and the float to something at the beach to make sure you don't get carried away with the current.
Camp Games - For the sports freak, there's enough to keep the energies charged. Take your pick from Volleyball, Badminton, Carom, Dart and Chess. Or perhaps, simply laze on the hammock and let your thoughts drift with the sound of flowing river. Games like Levitation, Boston Lap Game, Plank Bridge are played at the bonfire with a lot of group interaction.
Evenings at the Camp - Loosen up in the evening with the hip swinging ‘n’ singing session, complete with bonfire at the camp beach. Or participate in one of the campfire games. And if there's a musician in any of you, there's always the option of carrying your instrument and creating your own ambience. Then there is always getting involved in Levitation, Knots and Boston Lap games to name a few of the campfire games.
