They reached Shiva temple Chamukha on the banks of river Beas at 11:00 a.m. Pertinent to mention that as the name suggested, the temple had a four faced idol of Lord Shiva. After paying obeisance at the temple all nine beautiful girls boarded rafts parked near the temple by the team of Ultimate Survival Campsite.
Two rafters Nitin and Ayush were expert in rafting and know well how to maneuver the raft in the rapids of the river. The five kilometer rafting was not only fun filled but it built confidence among the girls. Whosoever was afraid of entering water, had concurred the fear of water bodies. The girls landed on the sandy banks of river and had photo shoots in the sunny and sandy dunes on the river banks.
It was time for the lunch and the team at the Ultimate Survival Camp was ready with meals. The contestants did a site orientation and were given strict instructions on do’s and don’ts. A stroll into the forest and tents was done to familiarise about the vicinities of the campsite. It was important for all, as they could reach the site in case they get lost in the forest.
All the contestants were then taken for rope bridge activity till it turned dark. The camp site offered around five different activities on the ropes.

The feeling of the Night:
A roar of leopard was heard from a distance but rattling of wild bushes and chirping of birds in early morning were amazing experiences. The roosting of wild fowls and barking of Barking Deer were adding drums to the music.

Nine Bold, Beautiful and now transformed personalities left camp site with heavy heart with hope to visit again.
