River Rafting:

Passing through three districts of Kerala, viz, Palakkad, Thrissur and Mallappuram, Tootha is a swift river that makes it a great experience for rafting. Amidst a backdrop of one of the most beautiful landscapes, let your adrenalin soar. This whole stretch of the river is sparsely populated, compared to other regions of Kerala. Also a lesser known fact is that the banks of Tootha River is a treasure trove of butterflies and birds.

You will be provided with professional equipment tried and tested in other river rafting areas in India and abroad. These include life jackets, helmets, paddles and first aid kit.

The raft itself is a marvel of recyclable and eco-friendly material. Fashioned out of wild bamboos, and fastened with coir ropes, these basic rafts are supported by large truck tyre tubes. The cushioning effects of the tyre tubes make it just comfortable to sit on while rowing without taking away anything from the experience.

We don't promote using fiber / inflated rafts as it wouldn't benefit in local income generation - one of the ethos of the company is to enhance local livelihood patterns. Purchase of bamboo and building of the rafts from the local community make sure that they have an alternative source of income each time we organize groups for rafting. Bamboo is also one of the most eco-friendly products. We also draw upon the expertise of the local community for navigation, guidance and culinary know-how.

The rafting route is flexible enough to explore its beauty in your own terms. Since we let our guests decide on how to pace the rafting expedition, one can take his or her own time. It is fun to stop near village ferries, talk to people, map the locations, find out the name of the place, and explore further while communicating with the villagers. An accompanying vehicle on the road will be stocked with food and there will only be fruits, some snacks and mineral water in the raft.  Read More...
