Complete information on Rafting in India
The challenge of a turbulent river is no less than that of the rugged mountains. The icy heights of the
Himalayas are the source of some of India's mighty rivers. Fed by innumerable streams they race along
tortuous boulder strewn beds, cutting deep gorges and breaking into silvery white rapids. The term
'White water' refers to foamy and whitish appearance of fast flowing water. The white water river
rafting is quite thrilling and adventurous. With the intricate network of mountain rivers flowing
through a myriad of different colors of rocky Gorges, forests, flowers and high mountain villages, the
hills provide ideal locals for the perfect water adventure.
The sport of white water river rafting calls for a triumph over the swift, swirling river as it gushes
past spectacular mountains. It is practiced mainly in the upper reaches where the water is wild and
white as it froths and foams, crashing against narrow gorges, rocky outcrops and falls at deep
gradients. The suitable period for river running depends on the adequacy of water volume. Thus
September - November and March - April - May are most appropriate. The equipment required is ordinary
outdoor gear, goggles, antiseptic cream and a liking for getting wet.
One of the great advantages of rafting is to travel leisurely through the varied terrain and enjoy
interaction with the locals and take photographs. In river running each day could hold promise of new
discoveries. Most travel agencies have included rafting in their trekking itineraries. They use the
most modern unsinkable rubber rafts and have a set of reasonably trained river guides who have also
developed some expertise in cooking and first aid.
