A river rafting is one of the best ways to explore Nepal through
typical cross section of the country’s natural as well
as ethno-cultural heritage. The variety of cultural activities
can be witnessed being performed along the river. The adjoining
slopes of the river often harbour dense vegetation and interesting
wildlife. Several varieties of fishes also abound the Nepalese
rivers. Travelling on a river in Nepal is a wonderful experience.
The days are warm and the scenery is spectacular. We camp
on beautiful beaches that have a new layer of sand deposited
on them every monsoon. The friendly local inhabitants are
as curious about us as we are about them.
THE
SUNKOSHI
This is the longest trip in river; miles offered in Nepal,
traversing 270 km through the beautiful Mahabharat Range on
its meandering way from the put in at Dolalghat to the take
out at Chatara, far down in the Gangetic Plain. It is quite
an experience to begin a river trip just 3 hrs. out of Kathmandu,
barely 60 km from the Tibet border, and end the trip looking
down the hot, dusty gun barrel of the North Indian Plain just
a week later. The Sunkoshi reserves some of its biggest and
best rapids for the last day. At the right flow it is an incredible
combination of whitewater, scenery, villages, and truly quiet
and introspective evenings along what many people consider
to be one of the world’s top classic river journeys.
Day 1 : 4 hrs. drive to put in point, Dolalghat (57 km.)
Day 1-9 : in the river and take out point Chatara.

TRISHULI
HIGH WATER
The Trishuli is Nepal’s most popular
rafting river; easy access from Kathmandu and Pokhara, scenic
valleys and impressive gorges, exhilarating rapids and easier
sections as well as the right amount of time all make it the
perfect trip for first-time or experienced rafters. Rafting
on Trishuli river can prove to be truly satisfying and challenging.
Just two hours away from Kathmandu, the Trishuli is without
a doubt the most exciting thing you can do in Nepal during
monsoon and quite possible one of the best day big water rafting
trips offered anywhere.
A two-day trip starting at Bhareni and finishing at Gaighat
is a classic river experience. You run all the good rapids,
following the river through its middle stage; watch the river
grow as its tributaries join , marvel as it cuts its way through
impressive gorges, then leave it as it spills over the lowlands.
Day 1 : Drive to Trishuli 72 km (Betrawati)
Day 2-7 : In river, take out point Narayanghat.

THE
BHOTE KOSHI
The Bhote Koshi is without a doubt the most exciting thing
you can do in Nepal without risking a social disease, and
quite possibly one of the best two day rafting trips offered
anywhere in the world. The Bhote Koshi is a very steep and
very continuous mountain stream, a unique combination of exceptionally
fun and challenging rapids without it ever getting past the
up going of recreation. It's sort of like being flushed down
a huge open-air toilet, but the Tidy Bowl man is you guide
and there are no worries.
Day 1 : 4 hrs. drive to Dolalghat.+ rafting
Day 2 : Rafting and 3 hrs. drive back to KTM.
