Meet at the riverside launch base in Pirdi at 10:00 AM. Suit up in river safety gear, including high-flotation lifejackets, impact helmets, and paddles. Attend a mandatory 20-minute dry-run briefing covering paddle commands ("Forward Hard!", "Back Paddle!", "Get Down!"), body entrapment prevention, and capsize safety. Launch your 8-person self-bailing raft into the Beas. Plunge into rapid after rapid, riding churning standing waves and navigating boulder gardens. Stop midway for an optional 15ft cliff leap into calm crystal-green eddy pools. Conclude downstream at Jhiri bridge, warm up with hot tea, and collect action photos.

Capt. Siddharth R.

"The acclimatization schedule on Mulkila was calculated with extreme surgical precision. Our IMF certified lead captain was constantly checking SpO2 levels and snow anchors. Summit day felt safe despite the 55° ice wall. Best expedition outfit in the Himalayas."

Response from cravel.in Captain

Thank you Siddharth! Safety protocols and gradual altitude gain on the Milang Glacier are our absolute top priority.

"Standing on the M4 pinnacle at 6,517m with the Spiti, Zanskar, and Pir Panjal massifs stretching into infinity was a spiritual experience. The Swiss shoreline tents and high-calorie nutrition were incredible for recovery."
