My MyDala.com team. From L-R: Mihir Govilkar, Shivam Sharma, Sanjay Yadav, Anand Radhakrishnan.
Today was my first river rafting experience at Kolad, Maharashtra. It was a lot fun although the rapids were not too difficult. They were at a 4+ rating. The highest is around 8+ the likes of which you will find in Rishikesh and the neighboring areas.
It was a 12 km run which took us about 2.5 hours. It was not such a lot of fun just because of the experience but because of the company I had. It was an easy-going set who really wanted to enjoy and go through the complete experience without the fear of drowning that many people have in spite of wearing life-jackets. This fear usually dampens the spirit (no pun intended) of the activity.
The highlight of the trip was the time when our raft capsized and we all were just floating in the river flowing with the current for a kilometer or so. The funny aftermath of this was that Anand and Shivam each lost of one foot of their sandals. So both of them just went barefoot from Kolad to Panvel, even in the restaurant, until they reached Panvel and bought a pair each of Paragon slippers. They did have an option of a "Poma" or an "Odidas" though. I was actually saved from this plight because I was lucky enough to spot my sandals pair floating together a few feet away happily flowing with the current. Not too sound too melodramatic but I did make a desperate rush for them and saved them from what might have been a tragic end to their not even a year old life.
All in all, a great day and definitely has pushed me to go to Rishikesh and get that ultimate experience.
