    I was one of those privileged persons to enjoy this wonderful adventurous sport in 2007 from Srinagar to Rishikesh (Uttarakhand). It was really an awesome experience.

    It is definitely a thrilling game. It can be enjoyed in India in any season except the monsoons. I love this adventurous game and has the experience of exploring Rishikesh (Ganga river) and Sikkim (Tista river) till now. Next time I want to do river rafting in Himachal.

    Though its a nice sport to enjoy in summers but one things which needs to be taken care of is sunburn. One gets affected by sunburn very quickly when your body is wet in the waters. So apply sunscreen lotion with high SPF.

    Nice information.
