Rafting in trishuli river of nepal

Rafting in Nepal is undoubtedly the best way to explore spectacular Himalayan Rivers, mountain scenery and a rich cultural heritage of rural Nepal. No other country has such a choice of trips on wild rivers, sub tropical climate and huge white sand beaches, ideal for camping. Mountain scenery that has drawn thousands of trekkers and climbers for many years, also feeds some of the most challenging and beautiful rivers, making Nepal an obvious river runner’s destination. If you have never been on a river journey in Nepal before, you’re in for an amazing experience. There is no better way to see Nepal than on a river trip, which by its very nature is the essence of escapism. Be warned, once you start on this journey, it may be hard to quit.

Rivers are graded for difficulty on an international scale from class 1 to 6, with class 1 defined as easy flowing water with few obstacles, and class 6 being considered nearly impossible to negotiate and a hazard to life. A reasonably fit person who is not afraid of water can safely go rafting on rivers with grading from class 1 to 3. For the more difficult and exciting class 4 to 5 rivers, people should be extremely confident in water and preferably have prior rafting experience.

When selecting your rafting trip, you should know what to expect from it. River journeys range from a short 2 day paddle to 12 days expeditions. Each one is incredibly unique in its own way and offers an enjoyable experience, regardless of the length of the river trip.
