RIVER RAFTING

RIVER RAFTING

River Rafting is a popular adventure activity way to see Nepal. While trekking is a good way of seeing the Himalayas, Rafting is an interesting way to see the Terai Region. The Rivers of Nepal rise in the Himalayas glacier, flow into the valley of Kathmandu and Pokhara and finally reach the Tarai. With a wide range of difficulties from a gentle one-day float down the Trishuli River, Bhote Koshi, and Seti River, to an exciting ten-day adventure through the rapids of the remote Tamur, Arun, and Karnali, there is an experience for everyone waiting in Nepal’s famous white waters.
Rafting began in Nepal in 1976. It was started by an American named Al Read, on the Trishuli River they were 2-6 passengers on a raft which is 5 meters long. Nepal has one of the best places in the world for rafting and kayaking.
