Experiencing Mori is easy with your eyes closed. Just breathe in deep the pine-scented air, and then open your eyes and feast on the sight of the grey river meandering across the valley.  Once you’ve soaked it all in, count your options. You could give company to the Tons River as it lazily winds its way to the plains. Or shop for the best rafting deal on the river. Or swim in a deep pool formed by a laughing creek or bike down a boulevard of yellow mimosas and pine trees. If nature’s your call, you can’t go too wrong by responding to the lure of the Tons Valley.

Legend has it that the Tons was born of the tears of the demoness Surpanakha. Some of the angst survives in the treacherous rapids; though from a distance the river looks beguilingly calm, you are advised to test the waters only in the company of experienced guides and life-jackets.
