White Water Rafting in Nepal
River Rafting is journeying on torrential river on an inflatable rubber boat. A river trip is an adventure but not always. An amateur and experienced rafter can equally enjoy it. A river trip also provides the opportunity for geological surveys and fishing. You are provided with a whitewater life-vest to put on all the time whilst on the river.

You are also provided with a helmet, all camping equipment and meals and a trained professional river guide heads the rafting team.

In a country like Nepal, a river trip is one of the best ways to explore a typical cross section of the country’s natural as well as ethno-cultural heritage. The river is regarded as a form of goddess and is used for the purpose of various religious rituals such as cremation under both Hinduism and Buddhism. A variety of cultural activities can be witnessed being performed along the river. The adjoining slopes of the river often harbor dense vegetation and interesting wildlife.

The Trishuli River:
Due to its proximity to Kathmandu and easy road access, this is one of the most popular of Nepal's rafting rivers. This river is easy and has tremendous excitement and experience even for the first time rafters. This trip can be combined with visiting Pokhara or Chitwan after rafting.

The Bhote Koshi River:
It is about a 3 hours drive from Kathmandu either by bus or private vehicles to reach the Bhote Koshi River. It is an exciting and tough river and is best for two days rafting.

The Sun Koshi River:
The "River of Gold" is considered to be one of the ten best rafting/kayaking rivers in the world. From Raighat (On Day 5) it is only one day's trek to view Mount Everest, so an optional detour is possible.

The Kali Gandaki River:
A total of 105 km covered in 3 days with excellent white water, and magnificent mountain views of the Annapurna South and Fishtail Peak (Machhapuchre) including deep gorges where you will experience intense rapids and wilderness.

The Seti River:
The short Seti River makes for an ideal two days introduction to rafting. From the entry 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.

The Karnali River:
The Karnali River is in the far west of Nepal and it is the largest and the longest of Nepal’s rivers. A two days trek is required from Surkhet to reach the starting point of rafting. This river is one of the world's most famous rapids passing through wilderness and is uninterrupted by humans. Your previous rafting experience and physical fitness will help you as an extra bonus to make it easier.

The Marshyangdi River:
With 52 km. of boiling foam sandwiched between towering peaks, Marshyangdi flows through the gorges of Annapurna. Besisahar is the starting point and the ending point is Bimalnagar on the Prithivi Highway.
