When we hear about Kayaking Expedition on Mahanadi River in Odisha, one of the widest rivers of India, few people will be scared in their hearts; some will have their Adrenalin jumping on haywire with excitement and some will be on the railings of jumping over their fears to win over it for themselves.

Kayaking is the use of a kayak,a low-to-the-water canoe-like boat, for moving across water and can be distinguished from canoeing by its upright sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle.

Such is the kind of experience that everyone, who’s visiting Odisha, should definitely target to have for their fun and adrenalin pumping lives. Kayaking on the emerald waters brings out the immense amount of joy and pleasure one can ever ask for. And for such amazing fun experiences one can get in touch with —
