Time for Rafting……………..

What is raftingRafting is cruising down a gushing river in an inflated rubber raft overcoming rapids and waves that comes crashing on you. It is what we call ‘enjoying life’A Day on RaftWe are woken by the cheerful sound of the birds along with the sun daring you to challenge for yet another day of rapids. After a hearty breakfast prepared by our staffs, we start rafting. We paddle through the high and lows of the rapids and stop in between to scout the rapids as well as to capture these beautiful moments on pictures. We stop for a leisurely lunch break around the middle of the day along the sandy beach of the river. We explore the various temples and villages, waterfalls and other interesting sights. The length of time spent rafting each day depends on our choice of spectacular campsites. Typically we are on the water for 4-6 hours. Camping on isolated sweeping white sandy beaches and sleeping in tents under the stars and open sky is an ideal introduction to the great outdoors.Points to ponder1.Always follow what the river guide tells you and respect his judgements.2.Valuables of any nature should be left at the hotel.3. Shorts, T-shirts, comfortable shoes and a spare pair of clothes to change, sun creams, sun hats and sun glasses, which can be tied at the back, are recommended. 4. Life jackets and safety helmets are a must. 5. Should anyone fall into the rapids, do not panic. Try to float on your back with the feet downstream. Hold on to your paddle, which will make you more visible.
