Water Sports in Kerala

Duration:3 Hours 

Exertion Level: Medium 

Minimum Group : 4

Camp Site: Kumarakom, Alleppey

Kayaking through the backwaters of Kerala is an awesome experience. You will travel through the narrow lagoons to the open lake. The team will be accompanied by our trained guides to ensure your safety. You need to have a basic idea of kayaking and good swimming skills to participate in this in activity.

A kayak is a small human-powered boat. It typically has a covered deck, and a cockpit covered by a spray skirt. It is propelled by a double-bladed paddle. Kayaks may accommodate one, two, or occasionally three paddlers who sit facing forward in one or more cockpits below the deck of the boat. The spray skirt or similar waterproof garment attaches securely to the edges of the cockpit, preventing the entry of water from waves or spray, and making it possible in most styles of boat, to roll the kayak upright again without it filling with water or ejecting the peddler.
 

White Water Rafting

Duration:6-8 Hours 

Exertion Level: Medium

Minimum Group : 7

Camp Site: Bothathankettu

With the intricate network of mountain rivers flowing through a myriad of different colours of rocky gorges, forests, flowers and high mountain villages, the Kerala hills provide ideal locales for the perfect White water rafting.

The challenge of the turbulent rivers is no less than that of the rugged mountains. Fed by innumerable streams they race along tortuous boulder strewn beds, cutting deep gorges and breaking into silvery white rapids. The sport of white water river rafting calls for a triumph over the swift swirling river as it gushes past spectacular mountains. It is practiced mainly in the upper reaches where the water is wild and white as it froths and foams, crashing against narrow gorges, rocky outcrops and falls at deep gradients.
 

Speed Boating

Duration:2-3 Hours

 Exertion Level: Hard 

 Minimum Group : 5

Camp Site: Munnar, Kumarakom, Alleppey

Speed Boating in the backwaters is a unique experience for the nature lovers. The boat can be an open roof or a closed one and can range for maximum speed of 50 to 200 Km/hr. It can accommodate 5 to 15 people per trip. The white water smashing through your sides and the feeling of flying on top of the water is an amazing experience.

Duration:4 Hours

Exertion Level: Medium 

Minimum Group : 10

Camp Site: Kumarakom, Alleppey

Parasailing consists of a parachute-like parasail, attached to a 300-meter long towrope, which is pulled along, by a speeding form of transport. When the speed rises to beyond stalling speed, the parachute rises, taking the pilot up in the air. Parasailing has two variations: a terrestrial and an aquatic one, with a jeep (usually) being used on ground and a motorboat being used in the water. As compared to gliding, parasailing is easier to learn and is also safer.

The length of the towrope restricts the height gained by a parasail. The rule of thumb is that you achieve a height two-thirds the length of the rope. Other factors like wind speed, participants weight also have an important part to play. The time in the air depends on the amount of space available and the strength of the breeze. The stronger the breeze and the longer the run for the towing vehicle the longer and higher the flight will be. There are no weight restrictions in parasailing. The lighter you are, the higher you can go. Parachutes come in various weight classifications.
