White Water Rafting

White Water Rafting usually refers to rafting that happens at the foot- hills of a mountain range when a river falls southwards through steep gorges and bursts into silvery rapids that serve as the perfect backdrop for some exciting water adventure. In my opinion, the best time for river rafting in Northern India is from September to November or from March to April and there is enough water in the upper reaches of the river to enjoy rafting.

White water rafting is a popular sport and with the entry of organized players; tourists have gained immensely as they no longer need to scout for food, equipments, life jackets, helmets, accommodation and the help of an expert guide at nominal costs. Stiff competition in this sector has kept the costs down and averted the possibility of monopoly by any company in this sector.

Young children below the age of 14 are forbidden from such tours and some tours, which are conducted on dangerous stretches of a river, require tourists to know swimming before they are admitted for such tours. Pregnant women and those who suffer from serious ailments like high blood pressure, epilepsy are not allowed for white water rafting tours as this sport can be very risky for their lives.

The pleasure associated with this sport far outweighs the risks associated with it and those who have enjoyed white water rafting admit that the entertainment and enjoyment far exceeds the expenditure incurred. The adrenalin rush, which one gets by maneuvering your boat through gushing rapids, is simply exhilarating. The thrill of meandering through overflowing rapids that hit your face with unceasing regularity is an experience that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

White water rafting also serves as an efficient stress buster and a welcome break from the monotony of every day life. Such an invigorating experience helps tourists to de-stress and return to their homes with renewed vigor and strength. While embarking on any white water rafting trip tourists should carry with themselves sunglasses, sunscreen lotions, shorts, T-shirts, sneakers etc. Rest of the equipment like life jackets is usually provided by the tour operator, as it is mandatory by law.

It would be a great idea if you can obtain some accommodation in one of the riverside camps. Unlike city hotels these camps may be short on amenities but they provide a once –in-a-lifetime experience of life in a jungle. City bred tourists rarely get such an experience and if you are one of those lucky ones to get such an opportunity then you should grab it with both hands.

River Rafting Vacation

Last week I went to Rishikesh with my friends for river rafting vacation. It was really a great trip full of fun and adventure. It was Friday night; I came back from my office and saw my roommate helping our landloard. Our landlord and the helper were about to start our room revamping as the room walls and ceiling was really making my room gloomy and white wash our room was the only option left. I also joined them to keep all the things out side the room. After an hour my mobile phone rang and the call was from none other than from one of my best friends. He was calling me as it was Friday night he told me that he is coming to my room with his younger brother for enjoying the weekend. But I was feeling very sad because in our room there was no space where we could sit. I didn’t get chance to think over and after few minutes they were there. We sat there for few seconds suddenly I asked them to move to another friend’s room. They agreed on that and within few minutes we were there. There were already few friends who were waiting for us because one of them had taken new car so he was giving party that night. Well, party began and someone from among us asked that lets move for river rafting trip to Rishikesh as the place is near to Delhi. Everybody agreed on that because we all love adventurous life and adventure tour has become way of spending our weekend. Our journey began at around 10 pm and we carried all the stuff like water proof bags, extra cloths, waterproof camera, slipper, t-shirt, shorts, sunscreen, sunglasses and some bears. We were all excited as this was our first trip for river rafting vacation. We reached Haridwar in the morning around 5 am and we took rest. After taking rest for short while we could continue sleeping as the ambience outside was very pleasing and we could not stop ourselves inside the car. So we all together went outside and saw the great Ganga River flowing smoothly there, we were really trapped in its beauty. No one could resist themselves. The pleasant atmosphere attracts lots of visitors and travelers and for the first time we saw the Great Ganga area flooded with people. People were enjoying morning walk, few were taking river bath in the holy river. It was really very different morning full of fresh air, greenery, top hills and air was filled with enthusiasm, new life, aroma of love and joy. After taking a small walk we started our journey again towards Rishikesh. We reached there after 2 hour and we hired a river rafting operator after taking our breakfast.
They took us to that place where from we were to start our rafting expedition; I forgot the name of the place which was around 15 km away from Rishikesh. After reaching there they gave us some demonstration about rafting and our first river rafting journey began. We all were very excited. Our guide asked us to jump into the river because there was smooth flow of water. So we all jumped into the river, water were so cold still we remained inside until our guide asked us to come back into the rafting boat. After few minutes he ordered us to come back on the rafting boat because our first raped was coming ahead. So we went back to the rafting boat. And it was really fabulous when we were passing through that raped; there was so much flow of water that we had to paddle very hard. Throughout this trip we enjoyed in this manner when ever any raped came we got back to the boat else we remained swimming in the Ganga River. At the end we were so much tired we went back to our hotel rooms and enjoyed our lunch around 4pm. In the evening we went to the market and were looking for wine shop, but there was no shop because that place is very spiritual. So we drop our idea for drinking and took our dinner and visit lot of temples there and came back in the morning.
