One of the other adventure
that Sikkim offers you is river rafting. The
snow fed mountain rivers Teesta and Rangit that
descend from their icy heights across high cliff
suspended gorges and torturous, boulder-strewn
beds offers you a unbeatable challenge. Amateurs
and first timers have their choice of quieter
waters, but with promise of a passage through
some of picturesque riverside of Himalayan
rivers.
Professionals can run the better known and
popular routes on rapids grade III - IV and V.
Options include a half day scenic run for
amateurs on low waters and the choice of
overnight river side camps adds to the beauty in
the entire adventure.
Teesta is ideal for both paddle rafting and oar
rafting, and brings fresh excitement for
adventure lovers. The rivers of Sikkim simply
sparkle and beckon.
The swift waters of Sikkim flows over rocks and
crags, turbulent and delirious. Flanked on both
the sides by steep cliffs and lush green
forests, the river rages on, dissipating its
energy only when it reaches the plains. This
churning, frothing water is just perfect for
white water rafting. It's a struggle with
elemental forces, a thrilling adventure which
takes you right into the heart of Himalayan
fury. You have to try and tame the untamable.
And later as you rest, all passions spent, you
will want to re-live the experience over and
over again. |
