Rafting through the Ganges

The days were just normal,bugged with dating with my system at office all day working on issues which were of mere concern, was so bugged of social networking sites and googling too...we just needed a break then came a thought striking to mind to go out on rafting to rishikesh. well thanks to my friend shreyas for suggesting months ago.Things didn't work for the weekend but the reviews n snaps were so good that i cudn't think anything else other than rafting,well finally all worked we did plan all things got a camping site booked n rafting scheduled.

we started rt on saturday morning in haridwar, a place away from all the corporate drama, no cell phone,no computers around that prisons u in a cubicle neither bounded in front of TV

.... perfect outing. we reached camp site in midst of jungle on river bank with a few necessary requirement taken care of . First day was cool wehad a holy dip in River Ganges... oh yeah all my sins are washed away n am allset to commit new set of em.....he he :). Then we went on treck n enjoyed the splash of fresh n pure H2O from hills-PATNA FALLS and going on with all gaming, camp fire, night chats n so on.... we got plenty of time to relax ourselves  in pleasant natural environ......most exciting part is to come

We started early on next morn on ride to shivpuri to start our rafting.we got padded n ready for the ecstatic ride over the ganges.The heart beat was just going up looking at the pace of flow of water out thr, well thr was a strike at corner of heart tht i dont know swimming too but just putting off the thought with an wish to go on for the adventure...Finally we started with 

Mr Bobby as guide i still admire his accent though he knew minimum english he managed well with r the US accent while commanding the rafting team and his circular hat adding clour to his attitude.

There was 16 km of rafting to go on after a small training to gain sync with team we headed to the deep river out thr starting with first rapid "Return to Rapid" giving the feel 

of how wors

e things cud be then came "Roller coaster" this was so good taking us all over the su

rface..... i am just short of words to go on.....by now we were confident to face the ganges adding 

trouble was the freezing cold water that tests ur endurance and going on we faced next 4 Rapids "club house" Cash flow" Golf coarse- tou

ghest of all"and  "Initiation"... we were so in need of break took a break and just jumped of to river trying swim with life jackets on, this was so relaxing u cud sleep on cold crystal clear water in midst of forest n hills n rays of sun blazing through along with the cool pleasant breeze.

I thank the vendor who had set up a chat shop (bhelpuri gaadi) in midst of the rocks thr...oh we were so hungry just rushed to him to get something to hog on....no matter how muchever he charges :) :P , u get to eat thr something to calmdown the hunger in ur tummy thts great isn't it???

            

                                  Here comes the adventure that takes  breath out of u... CLIFF JUMPING- it sounds simple u just need to jum

p off from 25 feet off the rock to water , but wen u out thr all set to jump i sware  u need somet

hing more than u naturally can take.... i just dint want the tag of not doing it,just prayed with in took a leap n jumped .......OH YEAH i could sense how long each second is, how strong is gravity and also how wrong is idea to commit suicide by jumping off any building......at same time u enjoy the feeling of being free, u feel like flying " I so envy birds"...... This interval of time seemed to be so long and finally a lump of flesh splashes water "DHAD"n u go go go on deep in water n manage to come up after a few seconds i guess but the interval of time u sense before and after  come out seems soooo long!!!!!!!!!!UFF!!!! now once am out of it..the feeling is WOW....WOW ........ WOW........awesome one....i could not resist so walked all over the cliff again and did jump again this time i tried to measure the height checked all things around though was second th efeeling was not diff it was all same.....i am sure those shud be moments whr my heart beat wud ve reached threshold...there were many who came till the last step of cliff n turned back . the feeling tht i cud jump out was so good/....he he bit of self admiration joy... cudn't get much time out thr had to continue the ride is not over there came small fun rather nasty part of ride.... we crossed thru an area called "GOA BEACH".. a place which exactly was same as the name sounds... a bunch of melanin defficient feminine beings resting in minimums on them.i guess thr were beings of both sexuality but who cares...he heeh.... i wud stop back here not explaining much , after all "Beauty is best in the eyes of imagination" .... well dont envy much friends i had to be descent enough to keep with the status tag hanging on.....:( :|... Finally our ride ends with biggest rapid "Double trouble"..... by now we were out of calories to burn .... just so damn tired after a 3 hour ride in water with so much of excitement n mixed feelings going thru my heart....

well this was one of the best of best weekend outing i ever had.... friend if u get a chance never miss being to this place....
