Rafting in Nepal
Nepal's
reputation as one of the best places in the world to do Rafting and kayaking
is growing faster.Whether for real adventure or for fun,Nepal has some
outstanding rivers to offer,starting from adventure charged mountain streams
to classic big volume wilderness expeditons.
Floating down on a raft is an unique experience which
can not substitute by road or by trail,since it goes through the wilderness
untouched by both and gives you ample chance to experience its varied
cultural and ethnic diversities,unspoiled landscape and dramatic Scenery.No
wonder that it is being popular as one of the most exiting river runner's
destination.
Trishuli River (1-2 Days)
The Trisuli, although
not the most inspiring river for rafting in Nepal, is very much popular
several reasons-it is close to Kathmandu and for a cheap bus ride you
can be on the river in hours if a warm-up is what you need on arrival
in Nepal. The major road running alongside it is, for most people, a down
marker. It does however provide easy access to transport and villages
along the way. For a family trip it provides a less serious and committing
adventure than many of the other rivers.
Day
01
Drive from Kathmandu/Pokhara
to put-in point at Charaundi or below Baireni, on river and run river
past 'Teen Devi'
Day 02
Run river past 'Upset' to Mugling,
take-out Mugling, drive to Chitwan or Pokhara or to Kathmandu.
Bhote Kosi River 2 days
The Bhote Kosi - the
name implies that this river has its origin in Bhot or Tibet. It has upper
sections of grade 5 and 6. Most of the the commercially rafted section
is from much lower down and has an overall grade of 4 with a couple or
so harder rapids that warrant a 4+ or 5-.
Day
01
Drive from Kathmandu
to put-in point , camp prepared, lunch served and run upper section
of river, back to camp for the evening.
Day 02
Upper sections run again then
downstream to take-out, bus back to Kathmandu arriving pm day
Kali Gandaki- Kali's River 3 Days
The Kali - Gandaki
is the most accessible river from the trekking base of Pokhara. The dam
built close to the confluence of the Andhi Khola has shortened the five-day
trip. The maximum time spent on river is now 3 days. The last two days
were less interesting but certain sad losses result, a visit to Ridi village,
Ranighat (an old abandoned palace that's like something from an Indiana
Jone's movie set) and 'Walk in the Dark', a great class 4 that was a good
finale to the trip. This river rises in Mustang, the bit of Nepal that
sticks out into Tibet to the North. Before it reaches the put-in it passes
between the mighty Dhaulagiri in the west and the Annapurna massif in
the east. This gorge is more than 4 miles deep. Lower down at the put-in
the river goes south and a great adventure begins.
Day
01
Drive from Pokhara
to put-in point, lunch and onto river, 2-3 hours of class 4 to camp
just below Modi Khola.
Day 02
Day of class 3 / 4 to just above
Seti Beni village.
Day 03
Seti Beni rapid & village,
more class 3 / 4, take-out at confluence of Andhi Khola (dam) and
bus to Pokhara arriving late afternoon.
The Sun Kosi River 9 Days
It offers the longest
trip in Nepal in terms of river days. It has many tributaries entering
from the north that drain Himalayan peaks including the mighty Mount Everest.
The character of the river changes with amazing wide valley sections and
large sandy islands becoming narrow jungle gorges and corridors. There
is only one large village on the river, the hardest rapid - Hakapur is
named after it.
The upper section is known as the Bhote Kosi, an adrenaline charged section
of river described separately in this guide. The commercial trips start
at Dolalghat, which is close to the confluence of the Bhote kosi, and
the Indrawati.
You can expect the trip to take 10 days; this may include a layover day.
Post monsoon it can be rafted in 8 days, 6 in a kayak. The trip, depending on the level of the
water can take as minimum as 8 days and as maximum as 10.
