    Whitewater rafting . costs Rs1900 per head including transportation.
    the instructors were nice , professional and most importantly ,
    speaks proper , understandable english.


    it took about 1.5 hours for rafting along 11km of Kali river.

    Kali river is grouped as " Level  3 " for rafting.
    not really extreme , but quite good for leisure / beginner rafting.
    there are two choices for rafting ,
    a short course like this or longer that may take up to 4 hours.
    ( even short course like this took 1.5 hours , and it was very tiring )




    my favourite part , where the raft goes vertical
    and the front end is totally submerged into the water
