Rafting in Nepal
The fast-flowing Himalayan white rivers of Nepal offer a range of rafting and kayaking experiences, from easy to challenging, with numerous rapids. Nepal is known for its excellent rafting and kayaking trips, which are organized with professionalism and high-quality equipment. From a relaxing day float down the Trishuli River to a week-long adventure through the rapids of remote wild rivers, there is something for every level of experience in Nepal. Longer rafting trips that incorporate trekking can also be found in the more remote regions of the country, offering an exciting combination of wilderness exploration and navigation through isolated villages.

Nepal is one of the best sites in the world for whitewater rafting, which isn't surprising given that the country is home to some of the world's tallest mountains. The rivers in Nepal flow down through the tight gorges and across steep hillsides, rising from the glaciers of the world's highest mountain range and Tibet's mysterious high plateau to the Ganges' Great Plains.
The best part of white water rafting in Nepal is that it is accessible to anybody - you do not need to be an expert to paddle in Nepal. Travelers of all interests and physical levels will find something to appeal to them, from day visits to a 12-day expedition. And, with over 6000 rivers running through this little country, it's no surprise that there are a lot of choices when it comes to where to go rafting.
