Visiting Kullu is not only for pilgrimage but also for some adventure! River Beas is very popular for white water rafting. Well then ... time to get on a raft! whoo hooo!

 

It was a cloudy day, cold weather, ice cold water and the considerably rough river. All the way 15 miles in the water ... hooo hoooing, got drenched!
