Rafting in Nepal |
Nepal is the second richest country in water resources in the
world. The rivers rising in the Himalayan Glaciers and frozen
lakes meander through the mountains and hills finding their own
way southward. Many eventually join the Holy River Ganges in the
northern plains of India. As these rivers rush down rocky
slopes, cross valleys, forests and fields, they offer the best
possible white water rafting trips for adventure lovers.
Thrilling trips down these Himalayan rivers bring you the joy of
exploring hidden wonders and the mysteries of this exotic land,
away from roads and trails.
There are many sights - the scenic beauty of the river banks,
typical cottages of indigenous people perched on the of the hard
working people of the mountains planting their fields with hope
of enjoying a good harvest. This experience will imprint
everlasting impressions of this country in your heart and soul.
Nepalese rivers are not only for experienced rafters. Beginners
can also enjoy a more tranquil float down the river enjoying the
excitement of some minor rapids.

The Bhotekosi is best described as a liquid rush! As
steep as it gets with constant rapids, this two-day trip
is a full body workout and the skill and determination

more than a mountain stream has one of the steepest
