white water rafting india
If you are looking white water rafting in India, plenty of rivers promise to give you a ride of your lifetime. From grade 1 to 6, these unstoppable stretches-one moment calm and another furious, can make the adventure buff in you smile with joy.
Down south there is the river Kali near Hubli which has enough flow to give you many adrenalin flow moments. From floating through tall grasses admiring the fruit bearing trees to experiencing a few tumbles in the river the experience is jolly good. Then there is a river for beginners near Madikeri. Flowing through an organic tea estate this is one helluva caffeine laced trip. Munch a few leaves or bite into bitter coffee pods and sip a good blend after the rafting.
Up north the Ganges and Brahmaputra offer a challenge and is meant for pros. Much literature is available on the expeditions here. But for tourists with a zen mind bend, combining white water rafting with a visit to the monasteries of Leh can be a good idea. For some high altitude challenge the Indus in Ladakh offers the mother of all white water rafting experience at 14,000 ft above sea level. Low oxygen and a river bed with jutting stones makes this expedition challenging for the best of rafting pros and sometimes dangerous as well.
The cost of white water rafting and comfortable stay with meals is not expensive. All you need is a good number, say a group of 4-6 to make the logistics work for you. Going with trusted rafting experts who provide gear and an experienced guide sure saves your life.
In all my rafting years, I have taken teams of 20 and 30 to and back from white water rafting trips safely and I ensured that the others loved the trip as much as I did. My idea of starting a tourism club is to share information that I have gathered from my on site experience and research in these places. Many operators fleece people with expensive billing and uncomfortable experiences that mars the spirit of adventure and leaves a bitter aftertaste.
