The first river you paddle runs through the rest of your life. It bubbles up in pools and eddies to remind...who you are - Lynn Noel.
White Water River Rafting.
The Barapole Experience is THE finest White Water River Rafting Experience in Karnataka or perhaps in Southern India. The river is a scenic beauty with thick & forested greenery on either side. The rapids are graded between 02 to 04 and the river runs in to a short distance of about 5-6 Kms only BUT the Rapids & River course is an absolute chiller...just what you'd come looking for in every monsoon.
The River Barapole is perhaps one of the very few rivers in the South which becomes a natural water body for water sports because of the monsoon & hence there is a certain amount of preparedness & caution from most rafting enthusiasts...yet all rafters who've tread this course over the years, say - it is indeed an awesome experience that simply blows your mind.
There are approximately 4 to 5 rapids in the regular upper section & about 6 to 7 rapids in the lower section, these rapids depending on water levels are between grade 2 to 3 or 4, though what is recommended for amateur rafting enthusiasts is only up to a maximum of grade 3 or lower levels – primarily to maintain safety & allowing folks to enjoy an adventure that is great fun & is a truly exhililirating experience for all.
It is important to be of good health, people with aqua phobia, weak hearts & high blood pressure are not recommended for this activity. Children are OK, if they are 14 years & above. More than all this you need to have a positive frame of mind to enjoy white water rafting. It is 100% safe & recommended for all ages.
The knowledge of swimming is not a stipulated requirement but safety vests provided by the program managers are absolutely drown-proof. In fact you'll be safer here than on the streets.
A typical white water rafting program starts off with command & instruction understanding, followed by a river drill & acclimatization after which you're on the river negotiating & managing white water rapids. Be prepared for a dunk as well, that's sure to bring some joy & camaraderie with your co-rafters.
Minimum group size is 06 to 12 pax [if you need to be exclusive on the raft]. Though even if you are just 02 people its fine as we'd batch you up with other rafting enthusiasts.
River Crossing.
Adventure enthusiast's are also offered a very exciting ‘River Crossing' experience in the same location as a combo offer, which is quite the norm here @ our rafting camp. This can be a post or pre-rafting experience & is again not common stuff but one that promises the edge of the seat action, with the highest standards of safety & experience.
Typically, this is a zip line feature & is recommended for groups of a minimum 10-12 pax or above.
