Rafting in Nepal

Nepal’s dramatic Himalayan glaciers feed some of the most challenging rivers in the world for white water rafting. Pummeling down through the world’s deepest gorges from the world’s highest mountains, an abundance of warm water rivers drift the adventurer past mountain scenery, terraced villages and huge white-sand beaches for camping.

Out on the river one really starts to feel that quality called River Magic as the rubber raft drifts, sometimes gently, sometimes madly, through wild rapids and tranquil, looking-glass passages. Around every bend in the river lies another exotic sight as you float through the culturally abundant countryside of Nepal.

In the evening one can explore isolated villages, shower under warm waterfalls or watch the kayakers playboating. There is a wide choice of trips graded in difficulty on an international scale from Grade 1 to 6, Grade 1 being easy moving water and Grade 6 being hazardous to life. A thrilling range of excitement comes in between!
