Caught up as we are with everyday life, we reach a point when our senses become dulled and life simply doesn’t feel like fun anymore. Now, each of us has a different way of bouncing back to our happy productive selves.

While for some it takes Ayurvedic massages, spas, or yoga… for others it needs a rush of adrenaline. Yes, these are the only people who throw themselves off cliffs for the right reasons.

To fulfill the needs of these adventurous individuals, we are expanding our activities to include hang gliding, para-sailing, white water rafting, rappelling, etc.

Please do visit our website and get in touch with us to know more. In the meanwhile, here is a brief note on our offerings in white water rafting.


White water rafting
A wild horse made of water

The best white water rafting in India is done on the mighty snow-fed rivers flowing down from the heights of the Himalayas to the plains. Most of the rivers reach ancient pilgrim spots downhill. And some of the devotees who gather there, are adventurers who’ve come to worship Mother Nature in an untamed form.

These rivers rush down from the icy heights at nail-biting speeds, gushing between densely forested mountains and through steep gorges. These water roller-coasters are quite deceptively named: The sacred Alaknanda, the Bhagirathi, the Indus River, Zanskar and Teesta.

In the south of the Country, the river Barapole in Coorg provides excellent rafting opportunities. Dandeli is yet another popular white water rafting spot in Karnataka that offers both long and short runs.
