What to expect
You'll start with an orientation on the river, then push off on an active float downstream in manageable rapids. The guide points out local wildlife and landscape features along the way. After drying off, you're driven to the temple where you'll see pilgrims performing purification dips in the spring pools—you're welcome to participate or observe. The final stop is a quieter village setting where locals brew and serve their own coffee and tea, paired with traditional snacks.
