Rafting

Nepal’s geography of high mountains to the north and low plains to its south has given rise to mighty rivers, most running quickly from north to south, making for great rafting possibilities. Trips range from a day to a fortnight or more. Rafting trips go from serene, to wild, to almost lunatic. You can paddle as a team, or relax and be rowed through rapids or calm. Riverside scenery goes from quiet drowsy calm, drifting past green terraced fields and quiet hamlets, to rather terrifying rollercoaster rapid rides through sunless gorges. Very few countries match Nepal for the variety and quality of rafting possible on its rivers. Gear is of high quality, guides are well trained, and the standard of service is high. Longer trips involve riverside camping, often on pristine sandy beaches in remote stretches of river. This is a great place for river rafting at any level and we can organize any of it for you. If you tell us what you want, we will be happy to help you get it. Rafting is rarely an exclusive activity, though it can be, and most visitors have a few days of rafting as part of a longer holiday experience.
