 The
sport of white water rafting calls for triumph over the swift
swirling river as it gushes past spectacular mountains. It is
practiced mainly in the upper reaches where the water is wild and
white as it froths and foams, crashing against narrow gorges, rocky
outcrops and falls at deep gradients.
Sandy beaches line the river at intervals, allowing river rafter to
pull up alongside. The slopes on either side are covered with oak,
pine, spruce and fir, with the occasional village and its terraced
fields dotting the landscape. Wild life can be sighted at a
distance, especially spotted deer, monkeys, leopard etc. Spiritual
retreats and ashrams overlook the river and add to the spiritual
experience.
