Nepal’s thundering waters, coming from the glaciers of the mighty Himalaya provide unmatched thrills for rafting & immersing oneself in the landscape. A rafting trip is bound to be the highlight of your stay in Nepal. The waters in Nepal offer something for everybody: Grade 5-5 + river with raging white water rapids for the adventurous, to Grade 2-3 River with a few rapids for novices. Rafters also have a choice ranging from a two- week trip to two or three days.
A typical day in the river begins early morning when participants arrive at the river site. Instructions on safety and emergency situation are given to participants before the event. Life vests and helmet needs to be worn by participants at all times during the trip. Meals are provided during the trip. The best time for rafting is from October through mid-December and March through early may. In the winter hypothermia may be hindrance to some. During monsoon months from June to September, the white water actions are dangerous, but gentler stretches are easy to raft on.
