White river rafting is one of the most thrilling adventureactivities in Kashmir. This is considered to be the easiest rafting as the rapids here are easy or moderate, thus many people afraid to opt for this. The provision for rafting is also available near Sonamarg as well. However, the white water rafting in the LidderRiver in Pahalgam is publically more famous.
Another adventurous activity that travelers tend to opt for is paragliding.The sight of the majestic beautiful valley is the main center of attraction of this activity. Paragliding options are available in Sonamarg, Gulmarg, Bhaderwah, Sanasar, and Harwan Srinagar. Of these, paragliding in Harwan is most easily accessible as it lies on the route of the tour of the Grand Mughal Gardens.
Though the stay in this heaven on earth is amazingly awesome in itself, these activities will add an element of adventure to your overall trip to Kashmir.
