Nepal Trekking home feels humble to share its years of long experience in the field of rafting. Our conviction is that White Water Rafting is the extreme and never-ending thrills in the untamed rivers. The rivers in the Himalayas are among the best in the world for river rafting sports, with many staircase rapids that challenge the body and spirit of the river runner. The river cuts against the rocky banks, crash into rocks, crevices and can be encountered breaking into white water rapids, foaming, swirling, and falling in a thunderous din.

With a major hunk of the Himalayas in the country, Nepal has excellent white water rafting/kayaking potential including several rivers still awaiting first descent. The variety of flora and fauna combined with the rich cultural heritage and hospitable people all along the Himalayas make rafting trips in these region remarkable experiences. Most of the river running itineraries can be combined with a trekking, a wildlife safari and a cultural tour in the area. Thundering waters, coming from the glaciers of the great Himalaya, provide unmatched thrills for rafting and immersing oneself in the landscape. A rafting trip is bound to be the best part of your stay in the country.
You will travel in groups in rafting, with an instructor at all the times. Life jackets and other essential safety equipment are provided. You can stay overnight in luxury tents, pitched on beaches beside the river, as we halt each night. You can also enjoy campfires and bonfire nights on river rafting tours in Nepal. Rivers are graded on a scale of one to six, with one being a swimming pool and six a one-way ticket to your maker. Four is considered to be quite challenging without being exceedingly dangerous to the novice rafter. Five requires some previous river experience.
Equipments:
Rafting are inflatable boats made of thick rubber, usually with separate air compartments so that a hole in any part of the tube does not mean that the whole rafting will deflate and collapse. Life jackets and helmets are provided as compulsory gear. Paddles may be made of synthetic alloys and fibers which are longer and more maneuverable, or they may be of plain wood coated with synthetic waterproof paint. Wooden oars are slightly heavier but break less easily. On longer trips or more demanding rivers, splash jackets may be provided.

All the gear and food will be packed inside waterproof bags and carried on the raft itself. Your cameras and accessories, stored inside the waterproof barrel, will be available for your use during the DAY. The setting up of camp and cooking will begin as soon as the campsite is reached.
