River Rafting :

Kabini River in Wayanad district flows through the constellation of islands in Kuruwa Dweep. This suit the adventurous one’s as well as the laid back guests. The landscape moves from rural, country side to wilderness.

The rafting route is flexible enough to explore its beauty in your own terms. Since we let our guests decide on how to pace the rafting expedition, one can take his or her own time. It is fun to stop near village ferries, talk to people, map the locations, find out the name of the place, and explore further while communicating with the villagers. An accompanying vehicle on the road will be stocked with food and there will only be fruits, some snacks and mineral water in the raft.

You will be provided with professional equipment tried and tested in other river rafting areas in India and abroad. These include life jackets, helmets, paddles and first aid kit.

The raft itself is a marvel of recyclable and eco-friendly material. Fashioned out of wild bamboo, and fastened with coir rope, these basic rafts are supported by large truck tyre tubes. The cushioning effects of the tyre tubes make it comfortable to sit on while rowing without taking away anything from the experience.

Suitable for: Rafting during the months of June, July, August and September is adrenalin pumping experience. You will get wet, dirt and might even bump into rocks. Suitable for those young at heart.
