Next we finally arrived to the river bank, where we were given some important information of DO’s and DONT’s and some crucial information to survive of any mishappening.

After all that training we boarded the rafts and went in the white waters! Ah, we all were excited but I was frightened as this was the first time I was going for such an extreme adventure. We took a selfie and went on saying “Ganga Mayya ki Jai”!

Well the first Rapid was the one which actually taugh me how to sit comfortably and enjoy! Rest is a history then I went on and enjoyed all the rapids like a Pro. We all were singing motivational songs with our trainer. For watching that whole River Rafting video and enjoying the songs you must watch “River Rafting in Rishikesh“
