Beas River Rafting
ब्यास नदी
White-water rafting on the Beas River between Kullu and Manali. The rapids are mostly Grade II–III, which makes it suitable for first-timers.
The most common rafting stretch runs from Pirdi, near Kullu, to Jhiri. It covers about 14 km and takes 1.5–2 hours. The rapids are mostly Grade II–III, and you pass snow peaks and villages along the banks. Shorter stretches also run near Manali, at Larsa and Bhuntar. Operators provide life jackets, helmets and guides, and prices are set per stretch. Choose a licensed company. Rafting is suspended when monsoon rains swell the river. The water is icy, so wear quick-dry clothing and bring a change of clothes.
