Go Rafting

A touch of adventure makes a holiday more exciting and leaves trails of memories filled with fun. For this very reason, we decided to go rafting during our trip to Aviemore, Scotland. A sunny day it was, but cold as anticipated.

Aviemore, situated within the Cairngorm National Park in the Scottish Highlands, offers a variety of outdoor activities. The place is beautifully set amidst the mountains and rivers flowing across it.

River Spey, the fastest flowing river in Scotland, makes it perfect for rafting. Since we were first timers, we did not go for the white water rafting. Instead we went for an easy river rafting accompanied by an expert who was kind enough to explain the basics of rafting. Rowing along the river, we were spellbound at the beauty of picturesque place around us. Blue waters and green landscape were a tantalizing treat to our eyes. The chirping of birds and murmur of the gushing water became music to our ears. If you are a nature lover, Aviemore is the place for you to be. I would definitely go back, but it will be crazy white water rafting next time!
