**River Rafting on the Beas**
The rafting stretch on the Beas River in Kullu covers roughly 8–9 km, starting at various points between Pirdi and Jhiri depending on the water level. The river has Class II and Class III rapids — suitable for beginners with a safety briefing. A rafting session takes 1.5 to 2 hours on the water. Wetsuits, life jackets, and helmets are provided. The rafting is included in the Manali Kasol Summer trip package; it is self-paid on some other trips.
