Thank you, Kiran and Manju…I had never before seen an inflatable kayak, though no doubt it is old hat to several readers!

Kiran and Manju tell me that there are about 20 people who regularly meet at Manchinabele to kayak together.

When I asked where I might hire such kayaks, the kayaking/rafting organization they mentioned is

Adreno

Notice that it’s in association with

Jungle Lodges and Resorts !
