In a move to promote adventure sports and tourism, the Doda administration organised a rafting event at the popular Shibnote rafting spot, near Premnagar.

“Supervised by Deputy Commissioner Harvinder Singh, the event marks a continued effort to highlight the district’s potential as a hub for adventure activities,” an official said.

The rafting activity, held on the white waters of the Chenab River, was conducted by the members of Extreme Adventure Group. The Deputy Commissioner himself participated in the event, donning the necessary safety gear and experiencing the exhilarating sport under the watchful eyes of rafting professionals.

The DC shared his enthusiasm for such events, noting their vital role in boosting tourism, especially in adventure sports.

The administration plans to introduce more diverse adventure activities, like trekking, paragliding, and mountain biking to showcase Doda as an attractive destination for adventure enthusiasts.
