is commercially relatively new in Darjeeling Hills.
Having been introduced in 1990, since then the sport
has caught the eyes of everyone in a very big way.
The spills & chills of this sport is unmatched. To
experience the tempestuous mood of a river as it
cascades headlong into rocks and down a slope is an
unforgettable moment. White foam produced from water
as it gushes across stones and boulders gives the
sport its name.

Rangeet(Triveni) the scenic beauty of the banks,
surrounding hills, its flora & fauna and sighting of

Goddess and used for the purpose of various
religious rituals both by Hindiu & Buddhists. A
