River rafting in Coorg


River rafting is an exciting adventure activity that is slowly and steadily catching the fancy of lots of people in recent times. If one is located in Karnataka, then there is a chance one could soon get to enjoy the sport without much effort! There are many water reservoirs in Karnataka, thankfully due to the strategic placement of the rivers, and thus there are indeed many locales where one can go for supervised white river rafting and that too without burning a hole in ones pockets. Coorg is one of the hottest favourites when it comes to river rafting.

For all those who have visited Coorg at some point or the other, agree on one thing: one must not leave the place without hitting the waters of Coorg. It’s an all new high to feel the rapid force of the water beneath ones feet. Coorg is one of the most beautiful locales in the heart of Karnataka. The place is known for its misty mountains and lovely picturesque terrain. But most of the locals even recommend going for the heart pumping experience of river rafting.

If speed is your forte then there is no better speed in this world than the force and speed of gleaming white water. White water rafting in the beautiful Cauvery River will ensure that one has a defining experience that stays with you for a long time to come. The famous Barapole River is one of the very popular and favoured locations for this water sport. The ideal time to visit this location would be mid of June to mid of September.

Coorg has slowly and steadily evolved from being a super haven for summer respite and trek centric locale, into one of the very much famous and favored river rafting destinations in the whole of South India, the whole year round. Even for unplanned Adventure in Coorg, water rafting trip could turn out to be rewarding and very much relaxing for the adventure thirsty soul!

The complete peace and calm of the best caffeine treats and the awe inspiring hills and meadows are just the beginning of the trail where the waters flow. The adrenaline rush that one goes through cannot be explained enough and one has to indeed experience the rush to feel its thrill! The fast flowing Barapole River has a magnetic charm of its own. It covers a comparatively short distance all the way to the ocean but has a steep gradient. This is attributed to the fact that the river drops through the Brahmagiri range.

The Brahmagiri range is a part of the Western Ghats and thus the river manages to drain itself off the massive rain fall water that it gets during the year. In the process, the river rafters get the thrill of their life what with the sweet upheavals of the river and the joyous twists and turns! Indeed it’s a once in a lifetime experience and one must ensure that one enjoys it to the core!
