The Plan: Kayaking in River Suvarna

Introduction

I host an unique kayaking tour every year. This tour have limited seat and is also non-profit.

This year we are going to kayak in river Suvarna.

River Suvarna starts from the lush dense forest of western ghats and cuts through the rocky terrain to meet Arabian sea. Western ghats are known to be older than the mighty Himalayas. So should be river Suvarna. River Suvarna could be flowing from 100 of millions of years. River Suvarna is a beauty that very few or nobody might have seen before.

There are 8 seats for this event.

Event Date: October 27, 28, 29, 2017

Total Distance: 65km

Total Time: 3 Day + 2 Night

River Dams:

• Baje Hydraulic Power(Under Construction)( we will cross only this.)

Camping Location

• Day 1: Puttige Mutt Udipi or nearby location(will have to paddle 25km)
• Day 2: End Point of the route. (distance 15 km we can take rest and cook nice food here). I am expecting this place to be extraordinary with natural swimming pool of size 2x the olympic pool. Also the place is rocky so nice and neat for camping.
