Where is white water rafting is done in India?

Answer 1

Rafting Runs
There are two main sets of routes along the rivers, graded I to III (for amateurs) and IV to VI, for veterans. The Zanskar and the Indus, both in Ladakh, are graded I - III, while the more southern stretches of the Beas, Chenab, Sutlej and Teesta are graded IV – VI. Briefly,
Grade I:Small, easy waves; mainly flat water
Grade II:Mainly clear passages; some areas of difficulty
Grade III:Difficult passages; narrow in places and with high waves
Grade IV:Very difficult, narrow and requiring precise manoeuvring
Grade V:Extremely difficult. Very fast-flowing waters which can be manoeuvred only by experts
Grade VI:For all practical purposes, unmanageable- even suicidal

The Ganga and its tributaries; the Kali Ganga, the Indus, the Zanskar, the Teesta and the Rangeet are some of the rivers on which river running has been developed. Most of these have good riverside camps, and are well-frequented by organised rafting groups during peak season.
Other than these, there are other rivers, nearly all in northern India, where there are possibilities for river rafting. These include the Sutlej, the Chenab, the Chandrabhaga, the Beas and the Spiti rivers- all of which offer good river running, but have not been explored to a great extent, or (as is the case of the Sutlej and the Chenab) are practically off limits at present because of instability and unrest in the region of Jammu and Kashmir.

Answer 2

See source for more information.
White water rafting in India is almost exclusively confined to the northern rivers which flow southwards from the Himalayas, gushing between densely forested mountains and through steep gorges. Rivers such as the Alaknanda, Bhagirathi, Indus, Zanskar and Teesta offer `raft-worthy’ rapids, and a trip down a river can be a great way to see the countryside. Whether the expedition’s just a few hours of getting soaked and experiencing the thrills of a high-action Hollywood flick- or it stretches over a few days in which you spend time camping and trekking as well- this is an experience not to be forgotten.

White water rafting or river running, as an alternative way of spending your vacation, is being increasingly offered by a number of tour operators and travel agencies, including government tourist offices.

Have you seen the rivers in India??? I don't think they will ever be clean enough to be white, just muddy. However, the Ganges does run with great ferocity when the tidal swells come in. But this only happens after the dry season when the ground can't absorb the water fast enough. Happy Rafting!
