Short trips take between one and four days and do not involve any trekking. Some of these trips involve less challenging white water and are ideally suited to first time rafters and families. Others attract experienced thrill-seekers with their world-class rapids.
Seti Khola: Warm and beautiful (2 days)
The intensity of monsoon flows seduce experienced rafters and kayakers with challenging rapids. However, the Seti is normally a gentle river, famous for its dazzling scenery. A favorite for nature lovers, bird-watchers, and dreamers… (Ideal for family trips).
Trishuli River: The classic river (1 to 3 days)
After a short drive to the starting point, this river offers an exciting experience for first time paddlers (class 2 to 3+). The Trisuli can easily be combined with a trip to Pokhara or Chitwan. During the monsoon, though, the river swells with powerful rapids and whirlpools. A great warm up for those that wish to get a feel for what Nepali water is all about.
Bhote Koshi River: The harmony of Tibet and the Himalayas (2 days)
Probably the best short white water adventure in the world. While traveling through the mountains to the starting point, one can get interesting glimpses of Tibetan life; but once on the river, there is no time to stop paddling, as the raft/kayak needs to maneuver its way down some of the fastest and steepest rapids of Nepal. This true adventure (class 3 to 5) can be rafted around October/December, or from February to April.
Kali Gandaki River: River of God (3 days)
Named after the much-revered Goddess Kali and descending from the deepest gorge in Asia, this fabulous river (class 3 to 4+) offers a mixture of astounding mountain views and pure adrenaline with a full immersion into the wilderness.
Along the way you will encounter culture at its simplest. We visit remote temples of unparalleled beauty, the native Magar and set our eyes on a plethora of forest vegetation and wildlife
Marsyangdi River: The raging river - Annapurna Region (4-5 days)
Marshyangdi(raging river) descends from the village of Manang through a narrow gorge of uninterrupted class 4 to 5 rapids. Himalayan giants of the Annapurna region look down on us. An exciting trip combining one day of easy trekking and 5 days of intense rafting.
Long Trips
In Our longer trips we take you into Nepal’s most remote areas Often they begin with short treks to the river. On these treks we employ local porters to carry our gear and supplies, so all you need to carry are your own personal belongings.
Many of our long trips finish close to some of our less easily accessible National Parks and Wildlife Reserves (the Karnali trip actually finishes in the Bardia National Park). So you may wish to combine your rafting trip with a safari adventure and go in search of our native tigers, bears and rhinos!
Sunkoshi River: The river of gold - Mt. Everest region (9 and 11 days) Top
Sunkoshi is famous in rafting circles for being one of the 10 most exciting white water rivers in the world (class 3 to 5). This golden adventure takes us down along immense mountain scenery and small remote villages, where the local people can be seen immersed in their daily rural activities. An experience of a life time, especially at high flows! This is when the rapids can flow to twice the size of the Grand Canyon and rafts can often disappear from the sight of those standing on the shore!
Karnali River: Holy water born from the Sacred Mt Kailash. (10 days) Top
This is the largest and longest river in Nepal. A one day trek from the nearest tourist and road takes you to the starting point. Paddle into a uniquely diverse flora and fauna. Along these dense forests class 4 to 5 rapids each leading into another, will bring descending rafts and kayaks down in awe. The take out point at Chisapani can be the start to your safari adventures in Bardia National Park. The most prestigious and world famous Rhino and Tiger filled park of Nepal. Combine the two and you have fantasy become reality. |
