The nature of every human being is different. When a person goes out for a walk, he only likes to enjoy the beautiful valleys. Some people love to travel as well as adventure and are always on the lookout for adventurous activities.

When you go out for a trip to a hill station with a group, then there is a different fun in doing an adventure like trekking, paragliding, rock climbing etc. River rafting with a group is also a different kind of fun.

But when you go river rafting with a group for the first time, many things seem to run through your mind and due to fear many times mistakes are made. In such a situation, if you are also planning to do river rafting with the group, then you must also keep these things in mind. Let's know.

Don't get too excited

It is often seen that when going river rafting with a group for the first time, everyone gets over-enthusiastic and ignores what the guide tells them.

In such a situation, if you are going river rafting with a group, then first of all pay attention to the guide's words. If other people in the group are not paying attention to things, then they can also be asked to pay attention. Before the rafting starts, the guide tells many things related to safety, which can be followed to avoid danger.

Must wear life jacket and helmet

Many people do not consider it necessary to wear life jackets and helmets when they go for adventure activities in groups. If you are also planning to do something like this, then the trouble may increase.

Sometimes when the wave of water is strong, it is very important to wear a life jacket and helmet while doing river rafting. That's why after listening to the guide, first of all, wear a Life jacket and helmet.

Can swim in water

Yes, if you feel that there is no fear of going underwater and you know how to swim well in water, then only go for river rafting. Many times the group goes rafting enthusiastically and starts panicking as soon as they reach the water. In such a situation, you should avoid making such mistakes in over-excitement.

Tether yourself to a rafting boat

Perhaps you know, if you do not know, then for your information, let us tell you that a rope is tied from side to side of the rafting boat. The hook present in the life jacket is tied to the rope present in the rafting boat so that the person does not fall from the boat even in strong currents of water. In such a situation, to take care of safety, you should mainly pay attention to this thing.

Also, follow these tips during a river rafting

  • While rafting, you run the puddle in the right direction.
  • During the rafting, listen carefully to every suggestion given by the guide.
  • Use sunscreen, sunglasses and comfortable footwear while rafting.
