My First Rafting Experience

in #adventure7 years ago (edited)

We were a group of eight people ready to raft our way through the rapid river. Some of us were excited, some frightened and some feeling neutral because they had already done it before. For me it was a new experience as I was doing it for the first time. I was rather excited than frightened because I was a good swimmer and I was talking to myself inside my head that even if I fall off I will swim my way through safety.

Though it was my first time, I asked the guide if I could sit on the front, he agreed. He gave us all the instruction and commands along with safety measures. And finally we were on the raft ready to battle the rapid river. We took our positions and commanded us to move forward. What happened next is in the pictures.

For me it was one of the most exciting experiences I've ever had. When the water hits you and pushes you back that's the best feeling. I am the one in white tshirt wearing sunglasses.

One thing I learnt, the path may seem long, dangerous and might bring you down at any moment. But keep you composure, focus, stand firmly and fight back. You'll become victorious and then you will learn that all the risk was worth it.

I hope you all loved the post. Follow and Comment your experience of adventures and suggest me what should I try next.
