At Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, the Holy Ganga leaves the mountains and enters the plains.

White water river rafting on the Ganga offers world-famous Class III and IV rapids (Three Blind Mice, Roller Coaster, Golf Course) across 12 km, 16 km, and 24 km stretches from Marine Drive and Shivpuri to NIM Beach. Other thrills include India's highest 83-meter bungee jump at Mohan Chatti, giant swings, and cliff jumping.
