Rafting, anyone?

By ⋅ July 20, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Last year, end June, I had my first expe­ri­ence with river raft­ing down Seetha Nadi.

It was so much fun that I’m plan­ning to do it again this week­end. It’s only for a day on Sat­ur­day. A 22 kms stretch that promises to be both exhil­er­at­ing, fun and tir­ing! We’re look­ing for another 3–4 three peo­ple to join us, so if you’re inter­ested do con­tact me at anitab­ora 5 at red­iff­mail dot com, pronto!

  4. I rafted a few years back. I would love to do so again. But the place is a prob­lem. This is hap­pen­ing in South India right?

  14. Cool pics. went river raft­ing in Rishikesh with a friend in March 05. Great expe­ri­ence. The stretch where u go raft­ing has quaint names that add to the excitement…like 3 blind mice! The raft guide gives u a down­load on the his­tory behind the names…great fun.

  15. Its ter­rific to look at the pic­tures of the raft­ing
    sport.It must be a good rapid.Well it always fas­ci­nates me to go for rafting,the splash of the white waters ‚cool, in the face.It is a great sport with a great future.But it is real dicey at times,as one gets car­ried away in those cru­cial moments,for a click of the cam­era or whatever.A silly stoke can bring trouble.The whole scene is so encouraging,blog more of it and best of luck for the next trip.
