Canoing in Uttranchal

The rivers and lakes in the north and the sand beaches along the coastline offer an ideal opportunity to the adventure lovers for conducting water sports. Canoeing is one of the most interesting water sport that combines excitement with exploration. While canoeing, you paddle the boat through  offshore islands, marine stocks and bewildering sea caves.

It is an eco-friendly adventure sport. Canoes are designed with conical ends so that they can be easily glided through the river waters.
