River rafting is an experience that everyone must have atleast once in a lifetime. It’s adventurous, most of all safe if you follow all instructions carefully and great fun! I don’t know swimming but I have done river rafting till grade 4. My first River rafting was in Kaudilya village in Rishikesh and in this trip to Bali I had second experience of river rafting at Ayung River. I must say it was a great experience. My apprehensions for river rafting got over in the first river rafting in India itself. In the second river rafting I was raring to go. We did river rafting by Toekad Rafting company.

We got down the stairs which was a lush green area. The atmosphere was full of fresh air.

We got onto our rafts. Our guide guide was very good and he instructed to us about the rules of the rafting. I saw other rafts that were along with us.
We started off with grades that were low and slowly reached greater rapids. Our guide kept us instructing to row forward or backward to give the water push backward or forward so the raft can move easily.Whenever there was a rapid it used to be huge fun for all people in my raft.While doing river rafting rafting our guide was really happy with our team as we were listening to him carefully and acted at his instructions promptly.
There was lush greenery around the river and there were carvings of Ramayana on the sides of rivers. Our guide told us it took a lot of time for craftsmen to ingrain those carvings and it was beautifully done. I’m sure it would have taken a lot of perseverance, hard work and commitment.
There was a big waterfall on the way. Our guide ensured that we have a good experience of the waterfall and he actually took us exactly right under the fall. Milky water fell on our heads and it was an out of the world experience! I must say although it takes a little bit of guts to go ahead inside the waterfall but I must tell you it’s an experience of the lifetime and an amazing experience.
