Camp Rapid Descent
Camp
Rapid descent transports you to that idyllic existence that you
long for, with the sublime Ganges flowing by, lush green canopy
of trees and your own private beach. It is just the place where
you can unwind and do what you wish to, it's a place where you can
hear the river, the wind and the birds harmonise. A glorious retreat
for the entire family, a group of friends or just you, camp Rapid
Descent has something for offer to everyone who visits it.
The camp is also a haven for the outdoor activities
with White water rafting (addictive to the extreme) leading the
list. A discussion late into the night dissecting every inch of
the trip over a crackling bonfire is mandatory and adds to the enjoyment.
This apart, activities like Rock climbing, rappelling,
body surfing, Kayaking & Hiking are all there for the taking..
There are many good things that we could say about
camp Rapid Descent, the outstanding hospitality apart, but this
is what we will, "do your own thing", it's all there for
you!
