Coorg, located in a mountainous region is one of the sought out places for Whitewater Rafting, as the gradient offers the best conditions for speedy waters flowing over rocks causing drops in the river known as rapids in rafting, running through these rapids is what makes rafting an adventure to remember. Coorg lies in Western Ghats edging along the Deccan plateau, it catches best of the South Wes
t monsoon during the months of June till September, turning the landscape with many streams joining in to mighty rivers. Barapole is the river to Raft, considered to be the deadliest in Coorg due to its turbulent flow and the ambience that surrounds it. About The River: Kithu-Kakkatu River also known as upper barapole
Our rafting stretch lies on the upper section of the ferocious Barapole River of Coorg, famous for its turbulences and gradient that flows through the dense forests of Brahmagiri Wild Life Sanctuary. Very few of the natives are aware of the ambience and serenity of the valley and have ever dared to trek along the river. Entry to the sanctuary is restricted which is governed by the forest authorities to maintain and preserve the wildlife with rich flora and fauna, and the overall eco system of the valley. The regular rafting stretch lies before the Sanctuary, starting from our Base Camp that lies in the mid section of the river near Ponya Devarakad (Sacred groves of Coorg).
