Adventure enthusiasts can engage in exciting activities such as jet skiing, banana boat rides, paddle boarding and kayaking. Depending on the weather conditions and your expertise levels, a kayaking expedition around Chikmagalur can last up to 40 km! Feel the gentle breeze as you glide through the glistening water and take in the spectacular mountain and forest views that surround it. Bhadra River is known for its rapids, which makes it ideal for river rafting as well.
In Chikmagalur, kayaking is an exciting and popular pastime. While river rafting in the fierce rapids of Bhadra and Yagachi rivers can be difficult for beginners, kayaking in the dams is considered a safe and easy sport that can be enjoyed by anybody, no matter your level of expertise.
