This is for the adrenaline junkies! Renowned for its fierce turbulence and magnificent white water, the Barapole River offers a challenging yet exhilarating experience. The 3-4 km rafting route features rapids ranging from Grades I to V, testing your skills and keeping your heart pounding. Flowing through the verdant forests of the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, this adventure also lets you witness breathtaking natural beauty and possibly spot some wildlife. Popular rapids include Big Bang, Ramba Samba, Wicked Witch, Morning Coffee, and Grasshopper. For safety reasons, attending white-water rafting classes and mock drills beforehand is highly recommended.
