Overview
“The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing.” – John Muir

“Money can’t buy you happiness, but if you can learn to kayak that’s kind of the same thing.” – Author unknown

Kayaking is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. The feeling of independence and achievement is topped off by making a journey on the stunning and mighty river Ganga, more known for its big rapids and whitewater, there is however a very quiet side of the River Ganga and it is this section that works perfectly for the Beginners.

We at White World Expeditions believe in not saying "Everything will be fine", as this is mostly said due to laziness in teaching proper kayak skills or due to starting beginners on a river section that’s above their level. We are focused and dedicated to taking time to instruct, demonstrate and provide adequate practice at the right pace and on the right river section(s). We feel that a bad first experience can mean the end of whitewater kayaking for our students, though a great first experience will whet their appetite for more. Using a kayak or paddle that isn’t the right size for a new whitewater kayaker, in the beginning, will go a long way in de-motivating the learner for future kayaking. On the flip side, a good fit means better performance which means more confidence…right from the beginning. All of our instructors are fully trained and qualified, with up-to-date first aid courses, and have a wealth of experience teaching kayaking. They will tailor the course to your individual needs which enables you to learn at your own pace and with the utmost professionalism your kayaking skills will progress extremely fast.

Our Beginners Course is the perfect introduction to the sport of kayaking. In this kayak course, you will learn the basics to be able to paddle independently on easy white water. Have fun and learn something new with us on the Holy and Mighty river Ganga in Rishikesh, which is one of the most beautiful rivers in India and the most popular whitewater kayaking destination in the country, ideal for beginners as well as professional kayakers. The objective of this 3 days course is to give the participants a good, clear & realistic understanding of what paddle sports are all about. We paddle in calm water & coach basic strokes to allow you to confidently manage & control your kayak, moving forwards, backward & sideways, managing your speed & steering effectively, along with teaching basic rescue techniques and developing the skills.

Why wait for some other time? Join us and begin your journey to be a kayaker because Paradise is just a paddle away.
