Mr. Chandra Ale, Rescue 3 international certified instructor finished two whitewater rescue courses (WRT) in India. There were two groups. The first group was just a bunch of interested raft guides from different Indian rafting companies and another second group was from snow leopard adventures pvt ltd. The location for the both courses was Alaknanda / Mandakini river at Uttarkhanda and the dates were 1st - 3rd May,2012 and 8th - 10th May, 2012 respectively.
According to Mr. Ale it was very nice to go back again and teach the participants after long time. He said he taught his first WRT course in India in 2007 and also has given the same course in Srilanka as well. He is very excited to go back and teach the course anytime the participants wants.
