Daily Itinerary
Camp
We meet at the office as a schedule then drives from Kathmandu to Khadichaur crossing through villages and beautiful mountains if weather supports us, the first-day rafting starting point so scenic and panoramic driving. After arrival, our chef will prepare lunch and guides will prepare the rafts and kayaks your hand is necessary. Get set and be attentive to our guides briefing about paddling and safety talk. Then paddles start dancing musically- like paddle forward, backward…on the first day we have only grade 3 rapids i.e. launching exercise for the first day. We pack all our rafting things then drive back to Baseri (further up from the starting point), camp set at the place of peace and tranquility. Enjoy the camp making the campfire with Nepali dance.
Hotel
After having Breakfast we pack our gears as well as you will see how your raft team can work well in challenging rapids. We discover down in the fear encounter with the challenge of grade 5 rapids “Frog on the Blinder”, “Midnight Express” and numerous grade 4 rapids. Your body and paddle have to face harder and faster with terrific energy because “Wall” and “Cave” is hissing towards us. The scenery of the different mountains, the country house, and forest and Nepali ethnic cultural life is so amazing and fantastic. Albeit, we are giving up paddling at the Lamasangu Dam and our trip ends by mid-noon. Once you get their load up all the kits on the bus, drive back to Kathmandu. What a heart-vibrating trip we had!
