Day-by-Day Itinerary
The Trishuli River is Nepal's most popular rafting destination and one of the finest one-day river adventures in Asia. Transfer from Kathmandu (2 hours) to the put-in point on the Trishuli — a wide, powerful river that drains the Langtang Himalaya and flows through dramatic gorge scenery before meeting the Ganges system in India. Your professional guide team delivers a comprehensive safety briefing: paddle commands, swimming techniques for rapids, T-rescue and flip recovery. After a warm-up on a calm section, the rafting begins in earnest — Grade II and III rapids with names like Upset, Ladies' Delight and Surprise provide an exhilarating sequence of drops and waves through the gorge. Between rapids the scenery is spectacular: terraced hillsides, water buffalo grazing on sandy banks, kingfishers and grey herons fishing the margins. A riverside lunch prepared by your support crew. The afternoon section builds to the day's biggest rapids before the take-out point. Return transfer to Kathmandu or Pokhara. Total rafting time: approximately 4–5 hours. Meals: Lunch.
