Trishuli River - 3 days

Rafting in Trishuli River
The Trisuli River is Nepal's most popular rafting river. Among features are its impressive gorges, exciting rapids, some easier sections, and easily accessible from Kathmandu and Pokhara. It is truly recommended for intermediate kayakers and those wanting a cheap white water trip.

Not far from the source the Trisuli joins the Bhote Koshi that flows from Tibet. The two rivers joining in some pretty fearsome looking gorges that are visible on the way up to the Langtang Trek. The Budhi Gandaki river, the Marsyandi and the Seti river ads to its flow.

When the Kali Gandaki joins it, shortly before the plains, it changes its name to the Narayani. Normally the flow on the main rafting section of the Trishuli is about half that of the Grand Canyon, and in many ways the rapids are smaller scale versions of those on the Colorado; they are formed mainly by boulder outwash from tributary streams and are characterized by big green shoots, holes either side, and huge exploding waves down the bottom.

This river trip will give you a full and satisfying experience- you run all the major rapids, watch the river grow as its tributaries join, marvel as it cuts its way through impressive gorges, then leave it when it spreads out over the great plain of the Ganges.
