Rafting in Nepal

Rafting in Nepal

Nepal is blessed with an astonishing diversity of rivers that emerge from the Himalayan Mountains.  And so, too, Nepal is blessed with a tremendous variety of white-water rafting/kayaking experiences. From a half day to full-on 12-day river expedition, Himalaya Vacations and Treks offers it all.  And we do fishing trips too!

Our Company provides highly qualified rafting and kayaking guides. We offer multiple-day whitewater rafting and kayaking trips to rivers like Sunkoshi River (9 nights/10 days); KarnaliRiver  (9 nights/10 days); Tamor River (10 days); Arun River( 10 days); Bheri River  (6 days); West Seti River  (8 days). If you have limited time, we organize shorter rafting trips.  The Trishuli River that parallels the Prithvi Highway offers white water kayaking/rafting and is only a few hours drive from either Kathmandu or Pokhara. Besides theTrishuli River (a few hours to 1-3 days), are the rivers Lower Seti River (2 days); Upper Seti River (1 day);Bhote Koshi River (2 days); Kali Gandaki River Upper (3 days);Marshyandi River (3 days); and Kali Gandaki River Lower (5 days).
