shivpuri river rafting

Before you embark on your whitewater rafting trip it is worthwhile to learn a little about the sport. The first thing you will find is that nobody jumps into a raft and races down the the most difficult rapids first. You must be patient and start with more manageable sections of river until you become comfortable and experienced enough for more difficult stretches. 
Rapid are classified by difficulty on a five point scale. One is relatively calm water and five is extremely challenging water that requires technical rafting knowledge. The different types of rapids are created by the the vertical drop over any given stretch of river. With practice you will be able to read the river and be better prepared for water and obstacles ahead. Also, it is good know in advance that you will get wet. So you and your crew should all be aware of this fact: stow your cameras and warm cloths in waterproof containers.

Below are the six grades of difficulty in white water rafting. They range from simple to very dangerous and potential death or serious injuries.

Grade 1: Very small rough areas, might require slight maneuvering. (Skill Level: Very Basic)
 
Grade 2: Some rough water, maybe some rocks, might require some maneuvering. (Skill level: basic paddling skill)
 
Grade 3: Whitewater, small waves, maybe a small drop, but no considerable danger. May require significant maneuvering. (Skill level: experienced paddling skills)
 
Grade 4: Whitewater, medium waves, maybe rocks, maybe a considerable drop, sharp maneuvers may be needed. (Skill level: whitewater experience)
 
Grade 5: Whitewater, large waves, large volume, possibility of large rocks and hazards, possibility of a large drop, requires precise maneuvering. (Skill level: advanced whitewater experience)
 
Grade 6: Class 6 rapids are considered to be so dangerous as to be effectively unnavigable on a reliably safe basis. Rafters can expect to encounter substantial whitewater, huge waves, huge rocks and hazards, and/or substantial drops that will impart severe impacts beyond the structural capacities and impact ratings of almost all rafting equipment. Traversing a Class 6 rapid has a dramatically increased likelihood of ending in serious injury or death compared to lesser classes. (Skill level: successful completion of a Class 6 rapid without serious injury or death is widely considered to be a matter of great luck or extreme skill)
