    I just had a word with a person at vXplor Adventures. He gave me the following details:

    1. The rafting operators have done a strike because the govt has levyed an entertainment tax of 20% on rafting and has made it applicable as of last season.
    2. So now the operators are doing an agitation that they will not take the permits unless the tax is removed.
    3. There have already been two groups formed in the operators, one group is saying that they should keep the agitation on however should accept the permits for the season while others have the view that the strikes should be continued.
    4. According to the weather and water levels the rafting season should have begun by now, its only the permit factor now…so you might see a hike in rafting prices this season.

    Just to add, the rafiting is not happening this weekend.
    By next weekend the rafting should start off however not sure of the camping.
