Another first from Aquaterra Adventures!

With over 130 rapids between Class 3 and 5, a 50 km section of the Pindar totals upto 160 rapids in a 93 km run including the Upper Alaknanda, this is possibly one of the most consistent whitewater runs offered, in terms of degree of difficulty, and the gradient and quality of challenging whitewater .
