Popular Options for Rafting
Nepal is blessed with some of the wildest and most spectacular
rivers in the world. The combination of beautiful mountain scenery,
exhilarating white water rapids, warm water and fascinating cultural
opportunities make Nepal one of the premier destinations for
river runners. The best time to come rafting is around September
to early December or between March and June. This is when the
weather is best and the water is the warmest. We can arrange
exciting rafting trips on the Himalayan rivers of Nepal lasting
from one to several days and you can combine these with other
activities such as trekking and jungle safaris. We run most of
our rafting trips on the Trisuli and Bhote Koshi rivers (grade
3+ and 4-5, respectively - depending on season).
Each package includes expert guides, meals, transportation,
helmets & safety jackets. Trips with overnight stops also
include tents and mattresses. Our guides are experienced rafters
who have run all the rivers we offer and have the skills to provide
you with a safe and enjoyable trip. They give an initial training
lecture and then the guide in each raft instructs on paddling
and picking out the safest route on the river.
If your schedule allows, we recommend choosing a trip which
involves at least one overnight stay because then our porters
can set up camp on soft white sand banks near the river whilst
you have a rest or a swim. Then you can enjoy a tasty meal prepared
by our cook and relax with the sounds of river life as night
falls. There's nothing like it. Camping trips require a minimum
group of 6 to 8 people and it is usually easy to make up the
numbers during the season since we have many trips setting out
each week.
