Bangalore Adventure Activities – WaterSports
Outdoor activities are not complete without water sports. For just family outings to corporate team outings, Bangalore has a galore of options when it comes to adventure water sports.
Rafting: For the more daring who love pulsating team aquatic sports, rafting or white water rafting as it is also known as, is an option. It is a marine adventure sport involving around 8 – 10 people, if needed an experienced trainer is a part of the group. Participants cruise through rapids or turbulence in the water, in a sturdy rubber raft using paddles. The rapids are classified into levels from 1 to 6; 1 being the least turbulent with slow moving water rapids that are safe for beginners and 6 being dangerous and highly turbulent waterway, that is recommended only for experienced professionals.
Check List: A rubber raft, paddles, protective gears such as life jacket and helmet, waterproof shoes are the basic requirements. All these are provided for rent at local rafting facilities. If the participants are novices, professional trainers are required to be a part of the rafting group. Basic swimming knowledge is an added advantage.
