White water rafting is a popular type of outdoor sport in Nepal. Also called simply rafting, white water rafting is an exciting aquatic adventure that can be enjoyed by individuals of all skill levels with proper guiding and instruction. In some areas of Nepal, white water rafting is available year round, although it is generally seasonal, depending on weather, Monsoon schedules.

 White water rafting uses specialized rubber rafts that are very sturdy and flexible. These rafts can accommodate a wide range of people, depending on need and build, although eight to ten individuals is a standard number. All the rafters have paddles, which are used to guide and propel the raft through the water. With a trained guide, it is possible to have a raft with only one or two experienced people and a crew of novices, depending on the difficulty of the waters being rafted.

 The excitement in white water rafting comes from the white water, a term referring to the level of turbulence in the river, or rapids. White water can be caused by changes in elevation to the riverbed, rocks or other obstacles in the water, and flow from snow melt and rain. White water rapids have a range of classes, from one, which indicates small, slow moving rapids that are safe for all levels of experience, to six, which indicates a dangerous and perhaps never tested rapid that should only be attempted by professionals.

 Rafters can take short trips consisting of a few hours and culminating at a pickup point further down the river, or longer expeditions that combine white water rafting and camping. We provide a range of experiences, from adventures geared towards more professionally trained individuals to family rafting trips.

 Trishuli river is the most popular on which rafters will encounter 1 – 4+ class of rapids. For higher class of rapids Sunkoshi river is recommended on which the rafters will encounter up to 5+ class rapids.

 River rafting is also extremely environment friendly, considering that you are not depleting natural resources in any form when you engage in this activity.

When done with safety in mind, white water rafting is great fun and a fantastic way to get in touch with the outdoors.
