The Tons valley lies in the Jaunsar Bawar region of Garhwal, a little known area, unique in culture and history. The Pandavas, and their rivals, the Kauravas, figure especially in the anthropology of the Tons valley, where the villagers claim to have descended from the two clans. Their social customs are unlike the rest of conservative Garhwal. Polyandry, and to some extent, polygamy, are the normal practice.
Raft on the Tons, the biggest tributary of the Yamuna which has its source in the snowfields of the 20,720 ft high Bandarpunch peak. A small-medium volume, Class 4 river, it offers excellent adrenaline rush and adds to the excitement of being in the outdoors. Stay at the Camp in the midst of thickly forested hillsides and riverside beaches. Look forward to hikes and overnight treks in the hills around our Camp and trout fishing. Keen rafters and kayakers can try out a multi-day expedition style trip on the Tons river till the dam at Icchhari. In all, a memorable family getaway from the summer heat !
