Top Water Adventure Sports – Recreate Yourself !!!

Feeling alone or getting bored?? Get your bags pack and lets do some Water Adventure Sport.There are plenty of things to do in order to recreate yourself.
Almost all the adventure activity which is water based is white water oriented. White water basically means fast flowing water which due to some obstructions in its path is turbulent at those places which gives it a white appearance due to the surf produced.

1. White water rafting

In this sport inflatable raft of synthetic material is used to negotiate fast flowing rivers. With modern technology providing better material for the construction of rafts, the sport has become much more safer.

People with no previous experience of rafting can do it very safely. The only problem with this sport is its very expensive due to the cost of  Equipment . If you can afford them then i am sure you will be doing it on the regular basis because of the joy related with this sport.

It can be practiced almost in any river offering good amount of white water. In India it can be practiced in Ganges, Indus, Zanskar, Chenab, Sutlez, Beas, Yamuna, Sharda, Teesta etc.

2. White Water Kayaking

What is Kayaking? Kayak is a small boat which was used by the Eskimos for seal hunting. It is highly maneuverable boat and being smaller can generally accommodate only one person. It is also very easy for a Kayak to flip over because the very design makes it inherently unstable.

Because of these factors one has to acquire more skill even for practicing this sport at an elementary level.

This adventure activity is not very costly as the equipment required is not large.It can also not be experienced off hand without any training which make it difficult for an ordinary tourist to enjoy the thrills of the sport within a short time.

3. Water Canoeing

This adventure activity is similar to Kayaking in nature, The only difference being that instead of a Kayak a Canoe is used. A Canoe is open like a Kayak and the Paddler executes the strokes on only one side of Canoe rather than like the strokes being used on both sides of the Kayak.

The popular places for this sport in India are Bhagirthi river from Uttarakashi to Gangotri and another from Uttarakshi to Dheran.

4. Water Skiing

This Adventure activity is practiced by being towed behind a motor boat on any large water body. The skills require for practicing this sport at an elementary level can be acquired in a short time and the cost of equipment is not prohibitive.

5.  Wind Surfing

A small surf board with an attachment for sales is used for sliding the surf on the seas. Directional control is achieved by shifting the sail position and body wait of wind surfs.

This adventure activity requires training and more time for acquiring the skills. Since it is practiced by a single person it does not allow any laxity.
