From a quick getaway for a night to a week of white water rafting
and fun camp RapidFire has the programmes to suit your requirements of
time. Given below is a standard two nights and three day itinerary. At
any given point of time a customised itinerary can be designed incorporating
various other elements apart from rafting.
Shooting the Rapids at Camp RapidFire 
Season - September 15 - April 31
Two nights and Three day Programme
Day 1 : Seven seconds to Countdown - The Wall
Arrive at the camp and have
Lunch. After lunch a short brief from your river guide you get started
on the rafting for the day. Listen to your guide carefully it will come
in handy during the day. Today you start your trip from the camp going
downstream. The first rapid you hit is called the Daniel's' Dip (Grade
IV) and The next big Rapid is The Wall (Grade IV+) Between these two there
are some Grade II and II+ Rapids with long float stretches with enough
option to do body surfing as well (Something you will never get to do
in Beas). You will cross the singhthali rapid, Marine Drive, Black
Money and various others that don't have a name. But the highlight
of the day will be Daniel's' Dip and the Wall. I can promise you that
after The Wall (which happens to be about 7 seconds of the total trip)
you don't want to hit another grade IV+ very soon. The total run will
be about 14 Kms up to Marine drive which with all the body surfing and
games on the raft will take about two and a half to three hours. Back
to the camp for a evening tea. Dinner Bonfire and overnight at the
camp.
Day 2 : Chasing the Mice - The Three Blind Mice
Get up in the morning, have a cup of hot tea and go river bathing (the
only place most people love to bathe at). Post breakfast we drive to up
to marine drive to start our rafting for the day. Today we raft up to
Shivpuri another 14 Kms. Crossing Rapid like initiation, body surfing
Rapid, cross fire and again others, which don't have a name. We finish
rafting at Shivpuri and drive back to camp for Lunch. Lunch at the camp
and hit the river for a river session on tube floats. Once the sun goes
down behind the mountain on the opposite side lets get started on the
volleyball matches. And play till the lights go out or till you fall whichever
is earlier. Once again its time for Bonfire. Dinner and overnight at the
camp.
Day 3 - The Much Awaited Day - Show you learnt it all
Today should be the most exciting day of rafting. After an early breakfast
we pack up and proceed to Shivpuri where we begin the run today. By the
end of the day you'd be glad we did the last two days of practice sessions
for today. With rapids like Roller Coaster, Double Trouble, Golf Course
(9 Holes), Club House, Body Surfing and various other today will
be an action packed day. And we also will have a picnic lunch at brahampuri
beach. We finish rafting by around 1300 Hrs. And you depart for onward
destination.
