| The
challenge of the daunting, turbulent rivers is no less, than that of the rugged
mountains. The icy heights of the Himalayas, are the source of some of India's
mighty rivers. Fed by innumerable streams, they race along tortuous boulder -
strewn beds, cutting deep gorges, and breaking into silvery white rapids.
An intricate network of thundering mountain rivers, flowing through an amazing
landscape of thrilling gorges, forests, and remote villages, the Garhwal and Kumaon
hills, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, provide ideal settings for some dramatic
water adventure. |
