Tons rafting Camp is situated in the western part of Uttaranchal, in the Jaunsar Bawar region on the banks of the Tons River. Located at a pleasant 3500 feet above sea level, this area is rich in every type of western Himalayan flora and fauna, densely forested with deodar, pine, alpine oak, birch, chestnut, rhododendron and jamun. An excellent river camping site, relaxing walks, ample angling opportunities and great whitewater make it an ideal getaway for everyone including families and children, from the quiet holiday-maker to the die hard adventure seeker.

White Water Rafting on the Tons (the biggest tributary of the Yamuna with its source in the snowfields of the 20,720ft high mountain, Bandarpunch), a small volume, Class 4 River offers an excellent adrenaline rush and adds to the excitement of being in the outdoors. Staying at Camp in the midst of thickly forested hillsides and riverside beach combined with hikes and overnight treks in the hills around our Camp and fishing for trout, make it a memorable family getaway from the summer heat.

The total distance of river run is 90 kms. The section from Gyunhatti to Khunigad is 15 kms. The section from Tiuni to Ichhari is 75 kms.

The river running expedition starts with an Introduction to White Water rafting with a 2 hr river trip on both the days covering a total of 15 kms. from Gyunhatti to Khunigad. For the other section of the river run the river running team would commence the Lower Tons Expedition from Tiuni to Ichhari covering a total distance of 75 kms in three days. Daily progress would depend on the river volume and how the team paddles.
