day 1: we were introduced to our guide and he taught us how raft and handle circumstances where your senses will go out (sounds fun na). well we rafted for few kilometers on the steady water and we chanted. we passed through hills and mountains. it was like i was reading william wordsworth poems because this type of surroundings i could only imagine in his poems. day 2: this day we were to meet our first rapid and we were thrilled. we came across several rapid ranging between class 1 to class2+. in evening we stayed at one of the beaches out there and had bonfire. we went round and round of the bonfire with an expression of joy and happiness forgeting our sorrows and tensions of our budding teen life. i fell in love with the nature and didnt care about about my girlfriend. we made our own food and i bet they were delicious. day3: the real adventure started today as we rafted throug rapids ranging upto class 3+. we came across the furious rapids all hungry to eat us up but as for us we were not the delicious stuffs for them. we firmly marched over ther THE FALL & CONFLUENCE, THE ROCKY, ELEPHANT ROCK and some BODY SURFING rapids. day 4: on this day we did cliff jumping and some diving stuffs. jumping from a cliff ranging from 30 to 40 feets and crashing into the water body waiting for us to dip and pour into never ending warmth of excitement. we swam and swam. we jumped and jumped. we on this day camped upon one of the beaches famous for its beauty. day 5: this day was the real carnival and real adventure as we came across the rapids ranging upto class 5+. the first major challenge of our was to go through THE WALL rapid well known for its degree of danger. it was the class 5 rapid and very deadly yet true adventure. after this we came across several rapid all of them ranging between class 4 to class 5 rapids. they were THE THREE BLIND MICE, GOLF COURSE, ROLLER COASTER CROSSFIRE RETURN TO SENDER and couple of more. these all boast the credit of being one the toughest rapids to cross across india.
