River
Classification of Difficulty:
Class: 1 Easy:
Moving water with occasional small rapid, few or no
obstacles. Class: 2 Moderate:
Small rapid with regular waves. Some manoeuving required but
easy to native.
Class: 3 Difficult:
Rapids with irregular waves and hazards that need avoiding.
More difficult manoeuving required but routes are normally
obvious. Scouting from the shore is occasionally necessary.
Class: 4 Very Difficult:
Large rapid that require careful manoeuving. Dangerous
hazards. Scouting from the shore is often necessary and rescue
is usually difficult. kayakers should be able to roll. Turbulent
water & large irregular waves may flip rafts. In the event of a
mishap there is significant risk of loss, damage and/or injury.
Class: 5 Extremely difficult:
Continuous, powerful, confused water makes route finding
difficult and scouting from the shore is essential.
Precise manicuring is critical and for kayakers, rolling ability
needs to be 100%. Rescue is very difficult or impossible and in
the event of a mishap there is a significant hazard to life.
Class: 6 Nearly impossible:
Difficulties of class 6 carried to the extremely of
navigatibility. Might possibly (but not probably) be run by a
team of experts at the right water level in the right conditions
with all possible safety precautions, but still with
considerable hazard to life.
Seasons
October through mid-December and March through early May are the
best times. It is possible in winter, but you have to watch out
for hypothermia. During monsoon (June to September), the white
water sections are dangerous, but gentler stretches are run-able
SAFETY:
-Safety is the most important part of any river trip.
Choosing a professional veteran rafting guide is the first
-step. So it helps to abide by the following tips:
-Pick your river with care. Seek information from river guide
before raft. Literature on river levels and difficulty.
-There should be a minimum of two rafts per trip, So that one
can help when a fall happens from the other.
-Carry first-aid kit, Survival and rescue gear.
-Check to see that end loops and the leash are adequate before
you push off. This makes it easier to keep hold of your boat
when swimming big rapids, and also in the event of rescue.
Be a team person, paddle synchronously.
For boats, paddles and helmets, loud colors are recommended.
Wear life jackets and helmets, properly too
Keep your feet and arms inside the raft at all time.
When you fall off into a rapid, float on your back, with your
feet downstream.
