When you book a \"cheap\" rafting deal, always ask what’s included. Does the price include the forest department entry fee (usually around ₹20)? Is transport from Tapovan to the starting point included? What about the return trip? Some vendors quote a low price and then add \"gear rental\" or \"shuttle fees\" later. In 2026, a standard Shivpuri trip should cost between ₹1000 and ₹1200 all-inclusive. Anything significantly lower might be cutting corners on safety or quality.
