White water rafting on the Mahadayi river near Valpoi will begin in the next fortnight, a state government official said today. The major attraction this year will be shooting a personalised video of rafting that can be shared on various social media platforms.

“The white water rafting on the Mahadeyi river would start in a fortnight with additional attractions like personalised videos that would record the rafting experience,” a senior Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) official said.

Rafting on the Mahadeyi river is held in monsoons between June and September every year.

“This year, the white river rafting experience promises to be different as the GTDC has tied up with a top adventure sports video company in the country to capture rafting experience through a personalised video, which would be shared via WhatsApp or Google Drive the same day,” he said.

Seven rafts will be put into operation which includes trips of 10-km each in the choppy waters of the river along the breath-taking landscapes.
