This is a rafting experience which is complete with chilled out camping and action packed rapids. The trip is conducted in a self supported manner, implying that all the camping gear/rations etc is transferred along with the expedition team in cargo rafts. We would setup camps on isolated beaches, and would move on the next day after winding up camp and ensuring that we do not leave any trace of our presence behind. This mode of camp stay is most eco-friendly as there is minimum disturbance/impact to wildlife and environment.
