Summary:
It was one of the best experiences of our lives. The 3 hour rafting trip was well balanced between moments of extreme thrill and meditative calm. We felt very safe with Birju with us in the boat and Ajit in the Kayak always watching over us. Birju’s skill, technique and ability to keep us engaged was commendable.
