Is rafting really safe?
White Water Rafting is going on in Tista and Rangit
Rivers for more than 25years and we have maintained an excellent
safety record. All of our guides are trained in advance adventure
training course and are expert in Advanced Rafting and First
Aid as well. Naturebeyond takes pride in providing our guests
with a quality trip that is both safe and enjoyable. However,
due to the nature of whitewater rafting and other associated
activities, Naturebeyond and its affiliates assume no responsibility
for personal safety or loss of personal property. All participants
are required to complete a personal liability and photo release
form before their trip.

I am not a swimmer;
can I still do the rafting?
Many rafters cannot swim. On all of our trips, Coast
Guard-approved lifejackets are provided which must be worn even
by the swimmers. These jackets help to float on the water. So
even if you do not know swimming there is no possibility to
get drown. However, on advanced trips it is recommended that
you have basic swimming skills.

 Do
I need to be physically fit?
The White Water Rafting is a participatory activity.
You must paddle during the rafting. You do not need to be an
athlete, however a good physical condition is recommended. For
any medical conditions that may be affected by strenuous activity
please consult your doctor. We do not encourage persons with
severe heart disease, epilepsy, high blood pressure, physically
challenged, expecting mother to go for the rafting.

 What
do I wear?
In the summer shorts, a bathing suit and shoes that will stay
on your feet are recommended. For the spring and the fall we
recommend layering with synthetics such as fleece or polypropylene.
Check out our " Recommended Gear " page for more information
about seasonal weather and clothing to wear.

Even if it is not raining you are going to get wet
anyway!

 Do
I have to fill a raft?
Our raft has a capacity of 12 persons. It is recommended
for minimum 4 persons, which is helpful to maintain a minimum
weight and balance of a raft. If you come with a group of less
than 4 persons you can take the full raft at the cost of 4 persons
or we can accommodate you in a separate group. This will however,
depend on the availability.
