Two major rivers the Teesta and Rangit offer long and adventurous white water rafting experience in north eastern state of Sikkim in India. Teesta has been graded on the International scale at Grade 4. The icy cold waters of the rugged Teesta have a series of rapids with varying intensity and character. It offers one of the finest rafting stretches in the world. Rangit, a tributary of Teesta, has more turbulent waters and offers a challenge to more experienced rafters. 

The Teesta river originates from Cho Lhamu Lake at an elevation of 5,330 m (17,500 feet) above sea level in the mighty Himalayas. This lake lies to the north of the Donkia Pass near Shetschen, where the summit of the pass is about eight kilometers north-east of Darjeeling.

In Sikkim,  Professionals can run the better known and popular routes on rapids grade III - IV and V. Options include a half day scenic run for amateurs on low waters and the choice of overnight river side camp adds to the beauty in the entire adventure.Teesta is ideal for both paddle rafting and oar rafting, and brings fresh excitement for adventure lovers. The rivers of Sikkim simply sparkle and beckon.
