drink fresh river water

I don't know if I tasted it ever yet. I mean, I've drank mineral water which is supposedly from the mountain fountains but I don't know if I could believe that is pure mineral mountain water (I guess not, if it's so cheap in the supermarket :D). But to be honest, I don't really enjoy still water. I like sparkling water, tea and fruit juices better.

Fresh water needn't be pure. I have heard that fresh water at high mountain is used as "medicated water" due to some minerals contained in it. Can we call it pure water?. Pure water is tasteless too. However, getting chance to drink fresh water that flow from high mountain from that mountainside itself is a great and thrilling experience indeed.

I do not want to taste it directly. Especially in my country. I think there is no more virgin water source that can be drink directly. So many people go to the top of the mountain, go to water source, but they do not care with the purity and cleanliness of the water source. how pity.

Wow, that sounds great and yes river water r always fresh, pure and have a good taste. i have tasted quite a many times whenever i have been to any mountainous area and had once thought how river water tastes and believe me i felt like taking it home but still i tasted it and it was so pure cold and refreshing. i hope your wish turns reality one day.

I love when going on hikes drinking from the fresh flowing river. But with all the people poluting you never know what is in it.

yaar then drink...........mountain dew.......

We do get Mountain water at some shops. I think that water is purified further to remove more impurities.
