Coorg  Rafting & Trekking - 9th & 10th Aug
Kodagu or Coorg is situated on the eastern slope of the Western Ghats. It is a hilly district; the lowest elevation is 900m above sea-level. The highest peak, Tadiandamol, has an altitude of 1,750m; Pushpagiri is 1,715m high. The principal river is the Kaveri River (Cauvery), which rises at Talakaveri on the eastern side of the Western Ghats, and with its tributaries, drains the greater part of Kodagu.
Coorg is nature's treasure trove where misty hills and forests mingle with coffee and spice plantations. The forests are covered with shola vegetation with many evergreen patches and there are various species of butterflies and birds.
River rafting on the Barapole river and tackling Grade 3 + and Grade 4 rapids and passing the swift river waters gives you an unmatched thrill and adrenaline rush. Our rafting site  at  Barapole  river  is  the  best  stretch of rafting available in South India.
