Popular as the only extreme adventure competition in India, the whitewater kayaking festival was first organised in 2013 and hosts a number of water sports like kayak slalom, and boater cross to downriver races.
Kayaking uses a kayak to move over water. Notably, it differs from canoeing due to the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle.
The popular kayak slalom and boater cross race will be held at Chalippuzha and Iruvazhinji Puzha. Apart from that, this year, the festival is touted to be even bigger and better as around 100 foreign kayakers from 20 countries are expected to be a part of the festival, according to Kerala tourism minister PA Mohammad Riyaz’s statement to nativeplanet.com.
It is for the eighth time that the competition will be held at Thusharagiri.
