White Water Rafting
is an Adventure Hill Sport, which
is relatively new in the Darjeeling
Hills having introduced in 1991.
Since then the sport has gained
immense popularity all over the
region.
Graded on the international scale
at Grade II, III & IV, the icy
cold waters of the rugged Teesta
with a series of rapids with varying
intensity and character, extend
a challenging invitation to one
of the finest rafting stretches
in the world. The turbulent waters
of the Rangeet with its multidimensional
rapids provide rafters of all age
groups with a variation meant for
professionals. The spectacular scenery
confronting a rafter while one snakes
down the mountain rivers make this
experience a must for all lovers
of adventure.
Himalayan Passages, a travel section
of Darjeelingnews.net, organizes
this sport for fun and adventure
at the river Teesta and Rangeet.
