White Water Rafting in Kumaon Region In Kumaon, the
Kali Ganga (Sharda) flows down from the Nepal border, through the
Kumaon hills. The Kali and the Jori rivers meet at Jauljivi, where
the water level increases, perfect for ace professionals.
For over 110 kms from Jauljivi to Tanakpur, its rapids are Grade
IV, and more.
The tough three days of rafting should be attempted only, by professionals.
Lower down among the forested slopes, the river becomes calmer,
offering the amateur a sporting challenge, before flowing out into
the plains of Uttar Pradesh. |
