White water rafting on the Ganges

Even though we took a dip in Haridwar my brother Jay, our cousin Ashish and I decided that we probably had some remnant sins that needed to be washed again in the Ganges in Rishikesh, but this time we did it in a bit more style. Rishikesh is the "Adventure Capital of India" so we decided to go white water rafting on the holy Ganges. The class III rapids were exciting but the real adventure was in braving the freezing temperature of the water flowing from the Himalayas in the winter!
