Sports activity is a good way of refreshing oneself from the hectic busy schedule of life. We a group of eight girls and boys decided to do river rafting. The experience of riding on fast, raging river was something to remember forever. We decided to do river rafting from Kaudiyala which is located on the Rishekesh- Badrinath road at a distance of 36 km and at an altitude of 389 meter. We contacted Indiarafting.com and they gave us all the relevant information required for carrying on the expedition.
River rafting is generally organized in the morning till mid or late afternoon. This thrilling wild sport is practiced chiefly in the upper reaches where the water is wild and white because of white froths and foams, that splash’s on narrow gorges, rocks and falls at deep gradients. The favorable period for river rafting depends on the water level owing to rain. Thus September - November and March - April - May are most suitable for river rafting. The equipments required are ordinary outdoor gear, goggles, antiseptic cream and a liking for getting wet. Rubber rafts, canoes and Kayaks have ruled the rivers for river rafting. We were anxious because we knew that river rafting is not possible on our own we needed some experts in this sport but sports agencies provided us with a trained crew to lead the expedition on international standards.
When we started river rafting one of my friends Priya fell in the river, we all were horrified but thanks to the rescue member from the crew Martin who immediately jumped in to the river to save her life. So one should be careful but not be too terrified to enjoy. These incidents should not stop us from enjoying the Mother Nature. Then we all sat on the river bank beside our camp and enjoyed the natural ambience by singing songs and eating barbequed snacks.
Our next concern was food and lodging facilities but this was taken care by travel agencies and the food was sumptuous.
The mighty waters of Ganga running from Rishekesh is best suitable for white water rafting. One can choose from many rafting courses offered at Kaudiyala. In addition to river rafting we were also interested in seeing wild life. Thus, this desire was also fulfilled since Kaudiyala is surrounded by dense forests. A walk in the natural surroundings near beautiful wildlife really rejuvenated us. The mode of transport from Rishekesh to Kaudiyala is 37 kms.
Thanks to indiarafting.com who provided us with the information on river rafting in a very organized manner that we were able to comprehend it and hence our expedition saw its day.
When people plan for such an expedition they look forward to additional things to do during the expedition. Rishekesh offers other additional attractions. Rishekesh is a pilgrimage centre attracting pilgrims in huge numbers. The Yoga centers of Rishikesh have given huge significance to the place. Local and foreign tourists from all over the world visit this place to have take lessons on Yoga and meditation.
If you are looking for ways of reaching Rishekesh then the transport facilities are available via road, rail and road. If you choose to go by air then the nearest airport is Jolly Grant situated from Rishekesh on the way to Dehradun. Rishikesh is connected by rail with Haridwar, Delhi, Mumbai, Howrah, and Lucknow and Agra. Roads are connected to Northern regions.
The river Ganga is the most holy river of the Hindus. This river offers an excellent option of river rafting for an exciting experience for amateurs as well as professionals. We all decided to do river rafting down the river from Devprayag because then the river transforms in to a pool drop river which is quite suitable for river rafting .We enjoyed the sight of exotic oak, pine, spruce and fir trees and my friend Priya and me took some fun pictures around the trees and the river.
To reach the destination tourists normally drive from Delhi to Deoprayag where a camp is set. This is the junction of the Alakananda and the Bhagirathi. It is an exciting river run and a two-day program was planned, with an overnight camp arranged on the banks of the river. Some of the rapids are dangerous but this area gives you the thrills of fast water, deep gorges and silver sands. You can relish one to three day rafting trip from Oct. to mid Dec. and from Feb. to June, from Deoprayag to Rishikesh in the lower Himalayas. So people what you are waiting for.
