Dino in docu on white water rafting

Morea has acted in a National Geographic docu on white water rafting

Dino Morea added a bit of excitement to his life. He recently shot for a documentary on white water rafting in the rapids at Rishikesh without knowing how to!

Says Dino, “A Canadian production house came down to India to shoot for a National Geographic docu tentatively titled Braving The Rapids. This was for a series on white water rafting in the rapids.”

Adds the actor, “They shot in the Ganga in Rishikesh. It was an adventure with tents and camping out at night. I had never done white water rafting before but I loved it. It was more thrilling than scary!”

Dino says, “It was a five-day trip and we went camping with pot fires, canned food like baked beans and tuna. We also had an Indian cook to make bonfire chicken barbeque.”

It was his concern for the environment that made Dino participate in this project. “North India is extremely beautiful; we should preserve nature. Rafting contributes to the economy of the mountainous regions and helps protect rivers from hydroelectric power generation projects.”

Rafting or white water rafting is a recreational activity using a raft to navigate a river. This is usually done on rapids or different degrees of rough water. White water is formed in a rapid when the water’s flow is disturbed and a bubbly, frothy white current is created. Rivers with high current are used for white water rafting.
