Nature, Hikes & Walks
Nature and village walks are at the heart of any Questrails Experience, allowing you a glimpse of rural living in remote mountain regions and the vast range of vegetation specific to the area. The Himalayan mountains covered in virgin forests are home to many species of animals like the ghural, barking deer, yellow-throated marten, civets and a variety of birds which can be easily spotted along these walks.
Rafting & Kayaking
Dare the rapids or simply drift away. The mighty Ganga offers the perfect white-water rafting experience and an ideal weekend getaway for first-timers, non-swimmers and families. The upper valley tributaries of the Ganga, the Alaknanda and the Bhagirathi are reasonable expedition-level rivers and have been host to many great white-water paddlers across nations.
Angling
Located by the confluence of the Nayar and the Ganga where the Golden Mahseers feed, our retreat is a beautiful site for game fishing. Just bring along your skill, patience and tenacity to reel in your golden moment at Banyan By The Ganges, the favoured casting spot for Golden Mahseer.
