Asta was a 14-year-old when the lure of the rapids called him. By the time he was 18, it was a lure he stopped resisting. Since then, the rivers of the Himalayas have been his home and his life. A genial soul, Asta has been with Snow Leopard Adventures since 1993, conducting rafting forays on the Ganges in Shivpuri for a growing tribe of rafting enthusiasts .
From: Shivpuri (Rishikesh), India
I got hooked on to rafting in my early teens, when I went on a day trip with friends. Rafting became more than a hobby after school, and after only one year in college, it became my life. I belong to Nepal, and built up a lot of experience by rafting on almost all the rivers back home, over a span of eight years, before I came to India in 1993. Over here, I have rafted the Bhagirathi, Kali, Alaknanda, Sutlej, Indus, Tons, Yamuna and Kosi rivers, as well as the Teesta and the Rangit in Sikkim. I especially remember a wonderful trip down the Bhagirathi a trip which, sadly, is now not possible following the construction of dams. The Bhagirathi had a couple of very good rapids, and was a river where you had to think. Also, I always look forward to rafting on the whitewater-filled Kali-Sarda, amid the scenic beauty, wildlife and birdlife, on the Nepal-India border .
