A day on Raft
We are woken by the cheerful sound of the birds along with the sun daring you to challenge for yet another day of rapids. After a hearty breakfast prepared by our staffs, we start rafting. We paddle through the high and lows of the rapids and stop ion between to scout the rapids as well as to capture these beautiful moments on pictures. We stop for a leisurely lunch break around the middle of the day along the sandy beach of the river. We explore the various temples and villages, waterfalls and other interesting sights. The length of time spent rafting each day depends on our choice of spectacular campsites. Typically we are on the water for 4-6 hours. Camping on isolated sweeping white sandy beaches and sleeping in tents under the stars and open sky is an ideal introduction to the great outdoors.

Teamwork
Teamwork is crucial to the success of any true adventure. The guidance and instruction of our staff enables you to play an active role in paddling your raft successfully through exhilarating whitewater. From rigging the rafts in the morning to putting up the tents and cooking, you are totally involved in the adventure. Most trips include a layover day when people can wander to nearby villages, explore, learn to kayak, play volleyball, or just relax on a sunny beach with a book, a chance to do as much or as little as you wish. The pace of the trips is very relaxed; we have plenty of time for rest, exploration and discovery.
