Rafting in Nepal!



Trisuli :
This river is very popular for short trips, as access to the Prithivi Highway makes ‘ breaking off ` the journey easy./ Trisuli is also an ideal beginner’s river.
Sun Koshi :The “River of gold” is considered one of the ten best rafting/ Kayaking rivers in the world. From Raighat (day 5) it is only one day`s trek to the Mt. Everest view point, so an optional day tour is possible.
Karnali :The far west of Nepal is one of the most remote and least explore d areas of the Himalayas. A two days trek with porters carrying all the gears is necessary to reach put in point. The trip lasts ten days, including trekking, and takes you on a real wild- river adventure. Take out point is Chisapani, close to the newly opened Royal Bardia National Park, where an optional wildlife Safari through largely untouched wilderness is possible.
Arun River :The easiest way to get to this river is by catching a plane to the put in point at Tumlingtar. Alternatively you can drive for 1 day and then trek for three days. The Arun provides some of the most challenging rafting in Nepal, and although the difficult access makes only three days on the river possible, the remote location and spectacular mountain views make this real wilderness experience.
Seti River :The short Seti River makes for an ideal two days introduction to rafting. From the put in point at Damauli, the Seti merges into the Trisuli on the second day. This trip offers beautiful mountain views of the Annapurna South, Fishtail and Lamjung Himal.
Bhotekoshi:One of the best short rafting trips in Nepal which covers 18km of continuous white water in just one day. Presently this river is one of the most action packed river paddlings in Nepal.
While the river is on high flow, we offer the lower section that is popular amongst all the river runner of the world.
Marsyangdi River :Her name means "Raging River" in the local dialect and this aptly describes one of the best whitewater runs in the world. We trek through charming Gurung villages and emerald fields to Ngadi. children play excitedly as we pass; snow-capped Himalayan giants surround us and the champagne river churns and bubbles below. Few rivers rival this for exhilarating whitewater, an sustained sections of steep technical rafting test our teamwork.
Kaligandaki:Named after the goddess Kali, the Kali Gandaki rises in Mustang, and enclave of Nepal on the Northern side of the Himalayas. As it tumbles down between the Daulagiri and the Annapurna ranges, it creates the one of the world's deepest river canyons. The Kali Gandaki is a terrific medium length river journey, combining great whitewater with some of the prettiest scenery in Nepal, seldom-visited villages, and truly quiet and introspective evenings. Both experienced and novice rafters will love it.
