River
Rafting in Nepal
|
| In
addition to world's highest mountain range, this region has one of
the world's best white water river. Few countries in the world offers
rafters the thrilling white water rapids plus impressive scenery of
snow capped peaks and tropical jungles that Nepal does. From the seat
of rubber raft, the rafts will see the colorful flora, faunna and
village life of Nepal. It is interesting to note that rafting on the
commercial scale was virtually unknown in Nepal till 1978. |
| The
rafting trips mainly takes place on Trishuli and Sunkoshi river though
in two of Nepal's far western rivers - Karnali and Bheri has recently
been introduced. In fact many of the adventure trips of Nepal now
combine a trek with a rafting expedition and a visit to the wild life
at Chitwan National Park. The most popular rafting river in Nepal,
Trishuli river starts north west of Kathmandu and flows south and
then west to Mugling, on Kathmandu to Pokhara road where in joins
the eastward flowing Marshyangdi river. |

Due accessibility from many points this river is very popular. It
is relatively easy, gentle one - good for experienced rafters. Expedition
typically takes 3 to 7 days, although day trips are also possible. |

If
the Trishuli river appeals to rafters looking for an easy float
than the Sunkoshi is the river for exciting, heart stopping
white water adventure. The Sunkoshi, the Golden river is one
of the main tributaries of the Sapta Koshi river system. It
flows across eastern Nepal draining the highest Himalayas, including
Mount Everest from Tibet. This river flows southward into Nepal
and reaches far eastern Nepal. |
|
|
Along the rafting course in both rivers, the rafters will find many
challenging rapids. They offer the opportunity of viewing religious
activities along the bank - an integral part of village life. The
green vegetation along the route is an equally interesting view to
.... Among 800 species of birds, 400 species can be seen with the
help of binoculars. The best season for rafting is the month of October,
November, December, March & April. |
