The Village
Consists of three modern cabins, and an apartment, all with ensuite bathrooms, and a camping ground with public toilets, and dharba style el fresco

deep jungle and on the other by a lush tea garden. As well as kayaking there is swimming, walking, trekking and fishing to experience. Our elevation
is 740m (2400ft) giving pleasant temperatures all year round.
The River
We are situated on the banks of the Umtrew River and the water is released daily from the hydro station, and although timing are irregular, there
is good water levels most days. The waters at the Village are class 2-4. World class kayakers come here, as well as tourists that want to try
kayaking, or those who want to learn to kayak. We have a small, quiet swimming hole where we introduce people to kayaking in a safe, controlled
setting. After two days practice the student kayaker can proceed to the moving water, and then to small rapids.
