Rafting
/ Kayaking / Canyoning in Nepal |
|
Rafting is one
of the best ways to explore the typical cross section of natural
as well as ethno-cultural heritage of the country. There
are numerous rivers in Nepal which offer excellent rafting or
canoeing experience. You can glide on clam jade waters with
magnificent scenery all about or rush through roaring white
rapids, in the care of expert river-men employed by government
authorized agencies. One can opt for a days of river running
or more. So far, the government has opened sections of 16 rivers
for commercial rafting. The Trishuli river (Grade 3+) is one
of the most popular of Nepal;s raftable rivers.
The Kali Gandaki (5-5+) winds through remote canyons and deep
gorges for five days of intense rapids. The bhote Koshi (4-5)
is 26 26 km of continuous white water and the raging Marshyangdi
is four days of uninterrupted white water. The karnali river
(4-5) provides some of the most challenging rapids in the world.
The sun Koshi (4-5), 270km, requiring 8-10 days to complete,
is a big and challenging river, Adventures are provided with
world-class services by rafting agents. Agencies here provide
life jackets, camping gear and the standard rafting paraphernalia
needed by world class rafters. An extremely popular sport in
Europe, canyoning is now available in Nepal. Canyoning gives
you the freedom to explore some of the most ruggedly beautiful
yet forbidden places in the world.
Short
Trips
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.
Long Trips
Our longer trips take you into
some of 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! |
