| Cautions
& Essentials for River Rafting |
If
you are a normal healthy person and
without any fear of water, then rafting
can be your sport. One can become a
skilled rafter in just a few hours of
training and the rafting training facilities
exist in different parts of India. Many
tourist agencies and state departments
also conduct courses in river rafting.
Carry dry bags dry bags or boxes to
secure small personal items you may
bring with you and it usually also have
room to accommodate an extra layer of
clothing. Be sure to take any necessary
prescription medications such as inhalers,
bee-sting kits, insulin etc. Avoid taking
your car keys, wallets, cell phones
etc. with you for the rafting trip.
Also take along sunscreen, sunglasses
with a strap to secure them and a camera.
Disposable waterproof cameras are easily
available, easy to take along with you
and take good quality pictures.
Appropriate rafting gear on most rivers
during the summertime is a simple swimsuit,
nylon shorts, tennis shoes or sandals,
and a hat. Spring and autumn rafting
trips are the ones that require additional
clothing. In any case be sure to dress
in layers so that you can easily add
or remove articles, as you need. Avoid
cotton clothing while rafting, except
in summers as cotton takes away the
warmth from your body. Wool, polyester
fleece and other synthetic materials
will keep you warmer and will dry faster
than cotton. Many rafting clubs have
wetsuits available for rent. |
