During the fruit season, you will be looking with envy at the fruit orchards flanking both sides of the narrow, winding road. You can also enjoy the tranquillity of the quaint traditional villages along the way. You shall sight a many-year-old water pipe that stretches from the nearby mountains through the major settlements to the old mining area; villagers are still using the water supplied by it.

Depending on the level of the water, there is a probability of you being thrown out of the raft. Water confidence activity helps you to get prepared for the worst. So just get geared up for the best!
