Event Description
Just an hour’s drive from Kochi and you are on the last stretches of Kerala’s famed River Periyar, winding down its long journey through the Western Ghats. Just the perfect setting for an adventure experience - shooting the rapids of the Periyar. What makes any whitewater experience so compelling, so satisfying, and so incredibly exhilarating? It’s for real! No video game or amusement park ride can compare to this primal adventure. As you drift through the river with its thick forested shores, the growing roar of the next rapid pierces the air. Anticipation mounts as your raft picks up speed and approaches the drop
You follow your experienced river guide just as he yells, “All forward!” There isn’t time to think. You paddle forward, stroke after stroke, when suddenly you glance up just as a towering white wall of water crashes over the bow, you keep digging in as the raft peaks the next wave, rocking you back only to propel you forward once again as it thrusts downward in the next instance - a roller coaster of excitement!
