Tour 7: White Water Rafting on Aragvi River
Descend the Caucasus Rivers with the melting snow.
Description
Description
Aragvi Rafting is a fun sport activity for ½ to 1 day as soon as the weather is warm enough to melt the snow in the mountains. There are two options depending on the water level: Mtiuletis Aragvi (Pasanauri-Chartali, difficulty WW 2-3 (on a scale from WW 1 to WW 6)) and Pshavis Aragvi (Magharoskari – Tvalivi, difficulty WW 2-3). The first offers the bigger waves (when the water is high) and the shorter access, the second the more technical rafting and the more beautiful valley. Whatever the choice, you’ll have to paddle hard to deserve the picnic or barbecue at the end.
Equipment (i.e. Neoprene suits, helmets, lifejackets) is included and you’ll have a professional guide to find the best route down the river.
Individuals will find their chances of joining a group increased on weekends.
For more difficult White-Water Rafting (Mtkvari Canyon at Vardzia WW 3-4), Rioni WW 3-4, Zkhenis Tsqali WW 3-4) 
and multi day trips, individual arrangements with the local Rafting Companies can be made.
