have been opened by the Govt. for commercial rafting,
Nepal offers a unique opportunity to all to taste the
trill of whitewater rafting. There is something for

that has your adrenaline pumping. Spectacular scenery,

A day on Raft
We are woken by
the cheerful sound of the birds along with the sun
daring you to challenge for yet another day of rapids.
After a hearty breakfast prepared by our staffs, we
start rafting. We paddle through the high and lows of
the rapids and stop ion between to scout the rapids as
well as to capture these beautiful moments on pictures.
We stop for a leisurely lunch break around the middle of
the day along the sandy beach of the river. We explore
the various temples and villages, waterfalls and other
interesting sights. The length of time spent rafting
each day depends on our choice of spectacular campsites.
Typically we are on the water for 4-6 hours. Camping on
isolated sweeping white sandy beaches and sleeping in
tents under the stars and open sky is an ideal
introduction to the great outdoors.
Teamwork
Teamwork is crucial
to the success of any true adventure. The guidance and
instruction of our staff enables you to play an active
role in paddling your raft successfully through
exhilarating whitewater. From rigging the rafts in the
morning to putting up the tents and cooking, you are
totally involved in the adventure. Most trips include a
layover day when people can wander to nearby villages,
explore, learn to kayak, play volleyball, or just relax
on a sunny beach with a book, a chance to do as much or
as little as you wish. The pace of the trips is very
relaxed; we have plenty of time for rest, exploration
and discovery.
