Who says you can have fun in Goa only in the hot summers ? Decided to take the family to Goa during the monsoons and one of the highlights of the trip was this – rafting in the Mhadei river.
After a bit of online research, we settled on a company called Goa Rafting and the experience was far better than what we expected. Our email was promptly answered, payment link shared and booking formalities were completed all online – in advance.
On the appointed day, we reached the meeting point, met the team and fellow adventurers. There was a detailed safety briefing and we changed into our rafting gear right there itself. A bus then took us to the banks of the Mhadei and boy – the river, swollen by the monsoon rains, looked intimidating !
The ride lasted an hour almost and there were adrenalin pumping moments as expected from any white water rafting experience with plenty of calm moments to take in the scenery.
The icing on the cake was this – the Goa Rafters team had professional photographers who filmed the entire event. Heck, they even had gopro’s mounted on each raft for a more immersive viewing experience.
Will upload that in a later post. The most professional aspect of this was that all the footage was shared within 2 days !
I will leave you with a few images.
Must-Do when in Goa, imo.
