Whitewater Rafting is all about paddling a small or large raft on river rapids. The raft can be manned by one or many adventure seekers. With forward and reverse strokes, they maneuver the raft over the rapid. As rafts don't have guardrails, they may have to swim when things turn choppy. All river rapids are graded according to an international standard. Each river has a particular whitewater class rating, with maximum grade of VI being considered un-runnable for commercial raft. The rafting scale is prepared according to the severity of the rapids and the skill and experience required for navigation.
