River Rafting Holidays

White water rafting or river running, as an alternative way of spending your vacation, is being increasingly offered by a number of tour operators and travel agencies India, including government tourist offices. Prices are generally reasonable, and will include food, equipment, lifejackets, helmets, an expert guide, and accommodation. Some of the options are:

1. The Teesta:Teesta originates at Cho Lhamu Lake and gushes down the mountains, creating foaming white rapids which are literally tailor-made for kayaking or rafting. Although this river isn't (as yet) as well- charted or developed as those in Garhwal or Kumaon, it's swiftly acquiring a reputation as a good stretch for white water rafting. Most of the Teesta is either grade III or IV, so it's advisable to have some experience of river running before you attempt it.
   
   
2. The Rangeet: The Rangeet demarcates the border between the states of West Bengal and Sikkim, and is known primarily for kayaking. Good river running, however, is also possible on the river, especially in the upper reaches of the Rangeet. Kerala Travel Packages
