 Major Rafting River In Nepal  
 
 

Trishuli (grade 2/4+) (1/5 days)  
Rafting in Trishuli Riverhe Trishuli River is one of the most popular, if not the favorite of Nepal's raftable rivers. The Trishuli white water trip is exciting, fun and safe for all age groups. It can be arranged for a day to 3 days or more of rafting depending where we commence from and where we end the trip. It is recommended for intermediate Kayakers. Due to its proximity to Kathmandu and the easy road access, the trips on the Trishuli are mostly offered to tourists. The Trishuli river trip can be combined with trips to Pokhara or to Chitwan. For first time rafters it offers plenty of excitement.  

Kali Gandaki (grade 4/5+) (5/8 days)  
Kali Gandaki River RaftingIt is a beautiful unspoilt river with good white water, gorges, wildlife offering a feeling of remoteness. It is recommended for people looking for an exciting medium-length raft trip. We recommend combining this river with a trek before hand in the Annapurna region. It starts from Galeswore near Beni and one can raft down to Ramdighat in five days. The clients may then continue on to the confluence with the Trishuli at Devighat, adding another 130kms & four days. Kaligandaki is a sacred Hindu river where the rapids are technically challenging, winding through canyons & gorges.  

Seti River (grade 2/3) (2/3 days)  
Seti is a unique river passing through two beautiful and contrasting scenic areas. It is a scenic, unspoilt and easy two day raft trip on a small volume, blue water and friendly river. The trip starts from Damauli and ends at Gaighat. It may continue on to Amaltarighat if participants wish to raft into the Chitwan National Park.  

Upper Sunkoshi (Bhote Koshi) (grade 2/3) (1/2 days)  
This is a one or two day trip that offers one of the most challenging short rafting trips in Nepal. It starts from Khandichour or Lamosangu near Barabise to Balefi and ends at Dolalghat. The river is lined with clean sandy beaches, which make for great picnic or camping spots. The trip offers a great family getaway, far from the maddening crowd.  

Sun Koshi (grade 4/6) (8/9 days)Sun koshi River Rafting
It is one of the ten best rafting trips in the world. Big rapids, warm water, no roads or towns, beautiful scenery and great camping make this a classic multi-day river trip. Rafters should be reasonably fit & comfortable on big water. The trip starts from Dolalghat and ends at Chatara in the southern Terai close to the Indian border. The participants can either drive back from Chatara or drive to Biratnagar and fly to Kathmandu.  

Marsyangdi (grade 4/5) (5/6 days)  
The raging Marsyangdi is four days of continuous white water. It begins from the village of Ngadi, one day trek up from Besishahar and ends at Bimalnagar near Mugling. The rapids are unrelenting. For people looking for a 5-6 days trip with raging rapids, the Marsyangdi river is definitely very appropriate.

Arun River (grade 4/5+) (5/6 days) 
Rafting in Arun RiverThe trip requires a mini-trek either from the Tumlingtar airstrip or from the bus stop. The Arun River begins at Tumlingtar & ends at Chatara. The following day, after breakfast, trek to Kartikeghat starts at a gradual pace. The third day, a rapid is hit as soon as sailing starts. Next day is pretty smooth except for a few big rapids graded between 5 and 6. The sixth day is pretty smooth as the Arun meets Sunkoshi river. Participants can either drive back from Chatara or drive to Biratnagar and fly back.
