The Teesta River, is the main drainage of Sikkim, Darjeeling, and
Kalimpong Hill Region. It has been graded on the International scale at
Grade 4.
The icy cold waters of the rugged Teesta have a series of rapids with
varying intensity, and character. It offers one of the finest rafting
stretches. The Rangit, a tributary of the Teesta, has more turbulent
waters. With its multi-dimensional rapids, it offers a challenge to more
experienced rafters.
On both the rivers, the riverbanks have deep forests, with some patches of
terraced cultivation, and small villages. Plenty of white sandy beaches
exist, offering good campsites. Rapids of classification 2 to 4 are
interspersed with placid floats, making rafting an enjoyable experience.
Our associates, DGHC Tourism provide International Class of equipment, and
fully trained and licensed River Guides. We check out full safety
requirements, before each rafting session, and our escort accompanies all
our guests.
Rafting can be combined with trekking and other adventures.
Tailor made trips with Overnight River beach camping also available.
