I love being outdoors and I love trying out new activities. So in my final year of college we had this final year trip with our college friends to which is in the northern part of India. It is a very cold weather type situation and the activity which I did there was of river rafting. So this was the first time I was going to experience that and talking honestly I was very scared because I had never done that and the river was very swift flowing, the waves were very swift and the weather was also very cold. So when we started the rafting initially I was very much scared and not fully enjoying it because I was scared what if I fell into the water. The water was freezing and the waves were coming so huge. But then we had a trainer and few of my friends along with me. So they all comforted me and made me feel comfortable. and after some time I started enjoying the ride and I forgot about my worries. That’s when I fully entered that mode of river rafting. We also clicked a few pictures during the ride and it is still a very memorable experience for me. and yeah the weather was a bit on the colder side but the overall experience was a very good one and this activity is going to stay in my memories forever.
