White Water Rafting In Goa – An Enthralling Experience For The Adventure Enthusiasts
The gorgeous yet moody Mhadei River seems to dare the adventure seekers with its foaming white and gushing waters, to come and tame it. In fact navigating the challenging rapids of the Mhadei River is one of the most popular adventure activities that visitors can enjoy in the state of Goa. The thrill and excitement of rafting in the Mhadei is simply awe-inspiring. As the participants try to manuver their rafts against the strong force of the water, they experience both the fury and majesty of nature working against them. Despite the seemingly insurmountable challenge that the river water presents, the rafting enthusiasts have great fun during the entire course of the activity.
The nearly six hour long activity requires the participants to be physically fit and mentally alert as even the slightest carelessness can lead to a serious accident. Since rafting is largely about teamwork, each participant plays an important role in making the trip truly successful and enjoyable. The activity is generally offered during the monsoon months, which further enhances the challenge for the participants. This is because, at this time the rivers are swollen after the heavy rains and the challenge of taming them is at its peak. The lush green and picturesque surroundings also seem to motivate the rafters to go on and complete the challenge.
The 6km long stretch over the Mhadei River provides enough adrenaline rush to the participants to quench their thirst for adventure. The white water rafting in Goa makes them forget their stress and worries and focus on their strengths and skills and turns the whole experience thoroughly relaxing and refreshing. The activity being of moderate difficulty level is suitable for both expert rafters as well as beginners, though the latter might be required to undergo a basic training program before venturing into the water. Even though not many people are yet aware about the availability of this adventure activity, it is fast gaining popularity amongst the visitors.
