Long River Rafting in Nepal

Long River Rafting in Nepal

Our Rafting Grouplonger rafting trips take you into some of Nepal’s most remote areas. Often long rafting/kayaking begin with short treks to the river. On these treks we employ local porters to carry our gear and supplies, so all you need to carry - your own personal belongings.

 

Many of our long trips finish close to some of our less easily accessible National Parks and Wildlife Reserves (the Karnali trip actually finishes in the Bardia National Park). So you may wish to combine your rafting trip with a safari adventure and go in search for tigers, bears and rhinos!

 

Marshyangdi River: The raging river (4 days)

MarshyangdiDescending form looming Himalayan giants of famous Annapurna region and Safety instruction on Kaligandaki riverpasses through along the route of round Annapurna trekking, beautiful villages, guarding temples on the river bank with uninterrupted class 4 to 5 rapids. Under the watchful gaze of Annapurna's towering peaks. If it's adventure you seek, you'll find it on this trip with one day of easy trekking and 3 days of intense white water rafting on Marsyandi river.

This is sad as initial work for middle dam has started already. Lets raft on Marshyangdi river as in few year this best river stop flowing free for rafters and kayakers.

 

Arun River: Trekker's Delight (9 days)

RaftingThis trip begins with 3 day trek through remote villages of Arun valley. Camping out in lush forests with views of the snowcapped Himalayan peaks. On Arun river, the powerful current drives your raft or kayak through 4 days of great white water action; at night you relax on fantastic beaches in dramatic valleys of Arun. In our opinion, the combination of trekking, spectacular scenery, great rapids and remote location make the Arun itself best river running.

 

Sun koshi River: The river of gold (7 to 9 days) depend on season.

Sun Koshi River Rafting (class 4 to 5) is famous in whitewater circles and with good reason: rafting on Sun Koshi river is one of the 10 most exciting white water rafting in the world, roaring past remote villages and green fertile mountains covered with forests and rice terraces, where local inhabitants can be seen in their daily rural activities. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience… particularly during high waters, when the rapids can swell to massive sizes, sometimes making the rafts completely disappear from sight!

 

Karnali River: The Wild West (10 days)

KayakA one-day trek from the nearest road leads you to Karnali river - largest and longest river of Nepal. On the river, a series of challenging class IV to V rapids takes you through narrow canyons and dense forest full of diverse flora and fauna, finally leaving you close to Bardia National Park, where you can combine your Karnali river rafting adventure with a safari trip and maybe spot some of the park’s one-horned rhinos and elusive tigers.

 

 

Tamur River: The best of the East (11 days)

lAn expedition on Tamur River begins with a breathtaking 4-day trek through remote Eastern Nepal. This short trek offers an amazing view of Mt. Makalu, Kanchanjanga, passing through rhododendron forest and an ancient villages of Rai majority. Once on river Tamur, you begin a 135 km. descent through more than 100 of the most exciting (class 4 to 5) rapids that the river has to offer. As with the Arun, Tamur river rafting offers you the opportunity to explore a beautiful, but rarely seen part of Nepalby foot and raft or kayak.

 

Sun Koshi/Tamur: Best combined for adventure lovers (10 to 11 days)

Water FallThe unique Sun Koshi River Rafting/Kayaking trip above ending with a short drive and camping on the adjoining Tamur River. Next morning we will raft the Tamur, which is a very powerful and exciting river with over 30 Class 4+ rapids in rapid succession. After rejoining Sun Koshi river, we camp at the confluence and the next morning we raft/kayak to Chatara and return to Kathmandu. This extra day rafting trip on Tamur river is the best way to end Sun Koshi rafting experience.

 

Safari Option: If you don't want to drive back the long 500 km to Kathmanduall at once, you can stop along the way and have a rest and enjoy the wildlife activities at Royal Chitwan National Park. This world-famous wildlife preserve offers elephant-back safaris, jungle walks, bird watching, canoeing trips and local cultural activities as well. We accommodate you in the best-located wildlife lodges in the park.

 

Return to Kathmandu by Air: For those who have limited time, we can arrange a flight to Kathmandufrom Biratnagar, after the final day of rafting on Sun Koshi river.
