Rafting
Hang on your
paddles while you are tumbling down the rushing river of the Himalayan kingdom
through inaccessible canyons, dense forests, and along ancient villages you
will enjoy surreal mountain views and experience the real meaning of
excitement. A river trip in Nepal is a wonderful way to explore and experience Nepal’s
natural and ethno-cultural heritage. Rivers here are regarded as Goddesses and
are included in a number of Hindu and Buddhist religious rituals. Many can be
witnessed during a raft adventure. Rafting in Nepal is a great experience in it’s
own right the thrill of running white water rapids can be as exhilarating as
reaching a mountain summit
Nepales river can
be grouped into three categories on the basis of their origin
Antecedent to the
Himalayans
Below the mahabharat
Below the chria
range
The major river
system the koshi the karnali and the gandaki belong to the first grop. Rivers
Originating from the Mahabharat Range which cut through the churia hills come
under the second group. These include the karnali bagmati ka,ala etc.
The third group of
river originates from the southern face of the churia hills
We have explored all of the blustering rivers to seek for
the best potential rafting routes. Experience the exciting thrill of wild water
in an impressing wilderness below we made a selection varying in grade,
duration and scenery
Trisuli
The Trisuli is the
most easily accessible and the most popular rafting river. Trips here can be
designed for various time frames. Easily reached from Kathmandu and pokhara
descents can be extended into the Royal chitwan National park. Moreover this
river is popular with intermediate kayakers.
Sun
kodhi
Sun koshi has been
classified as one of the ten best rafting river in the world. Big rapids warm
water no roads or civilization. Extraordinary scenery and great camping spots
make this a classic multi day river trip.
The most common put in point of the sun koshi river trip is Dolalght a three
hour drive east from Kathmandu. At the outset, the river is peaceful and the
first day’s rafting is relatively easy. The sun koshi traverses the mahabharat
range and follows one of the main geological fault lines of the Himalayan. This
is also an excellent trip for intermediate and advanced kayakers.
Seti
The short seti
River flushes as an ideal introduction to rafting . This is a really pleasant
and picturesque 1 to 3 day trip with no big rapids but plenty of friendly small
ones. From the put in point at Damauli ( 2 hour drive from pokhara)the seti
merges into the trisuli on the second day. This trip offers beautiful mountain
views of the Annapurna south fishtail and Lamjung Himal .
