Rafting in Eastern Himalaya

White water rafting was introduced in Darjeeling hills in the year 1991. Since then the sport has come a long way and has gained tremendous popularity.

As a result, several private organisations have set up rafting facilities. On an international scale the icy cold waters of the rugged Tista is graded at IV. With a series of rapids with varying intensity and character, Tista extends a challenging invitation to the enthusiasts.

The turbulent waters of the Teesta with its multidimensional rapids provide rafters with a variation meant for professionals. But there are several straights which can be enjoyed by the greenhorn. The spectacular scenery confronting a rafter while one snakes down the mountain rivers make this experience a must for all lovers of adventure.

Moreover, the rafting equipment used is of the highest quality available in the world. The extremely high standard infrastructure is supplemented by mouthwatering cuisine of the hills served with a smile.
