foaming, swirling, and falling in a thunderous din. India
has a wide range of river rafting regions, which suits both
amateurs and professionals.

water, then rafting can be your sport. One can become a

Carry dry bags dry bags or boxes to secure small personal
items you may bring with you and it usually also have room
to accommodate an extra layer of clothing. Be sure to take
any necessary prescription medications such as inhalers,
bee-sting kits, insulin etc. Avoid taking your car keys,
wallets, cell phones etc. with you for the rafting trip.
Also take along sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap to secure
them and a camera. Disposable waterproof cameras are easily
available, easy to take along with you and take good quality

Appropriate rafting gear on most rivers during the
summertime is a simple swimsuit, nylon shorts, tennis shoes
or sandals, and a hat. Spring and autumn rafting trips are
the ones that require additional clothing. In any case be
sure to dress in layers so that you can easily add or remove
articles, as you need. Avoid cotton clothing while rafting,

will keep you warmer and will dry faster than cotton. Many
rafting clubs have wetsuits available for rent.
