Whats Rafting?
Here Is The Information You Must Know:

Rafting is the act, sport, or pastime of traveling on a river or other body of water in a usually inflatable raft. And is a widely recognized term in the realm of adventure tourism and water sports.
Rafting involves descending a river on a rowing boat, using paddles to steer through various challenges like rocks, turbulent currents, and slopes.
The descent is quite literal, starting from a higher point and continuing down to a lower part of the river. This elevation difference allows the boat to pick up high speeds over the water, making rafting a thrilling yet risky activity.

Given the potential risks involved, it is crucial for rafters to follow precautionary measures to prevent unnecessary harm:

  • Pay close attention to the guide’s instructions throughout the journey.
  • Wear appropriate, non-slip shoes with a good grip.
  • Ensure proper nourishment before the activity to maintain energy levels.
  • Familiarize themselves with paddle techniques, communication signals, and how to help a fallen companion.
  • Carry a whistle to alert others in case of emergencies.
  • Always practice rafting with others and never go alone.

Rafting rivers are internationally classified based on their difficulty levels:

  • Flat water: Almost flat surfaces with negligible eddies and waves.
  • Class I: Very easy, almost flat waters with minimal turbulence and small waves.
  • Class II: Easy, slightly turbulent waters with small eddies and holes, suitable for beginners.
  • Class III: Intermediate, turbulent waters with medium waves and holes requiring good technique.
  • Class IV: Difficult, very turbulent with considerable eddies and waves, necessitating expert skills.
  • Class V: Expert, very turbulent and unpredictable with large waves and gaps, requiring extensive expertise.
  • Class VI: Extremely difficult or unnavigable, posing a risk of death and considered impassable.

Rafting trips typically take place in Class III and IV rivers, while Class II and lower rivers are more suited for general navigation using different boats and equipment. Class V rivers are for experts only, and Class VI rivers are deemed impassable.

Rafting offers an exhilarating experience but should be approached with utmost caution and adherence to safety guidelines.
