 White Water River Rafting
White Water Rafting is an extreme adventure sport with never-ending thrills, and sometimes spills, along the untamed rivers. The rivers in the Himalayas are among the best in the world for river rafting sports, with many staircase rapids that challenge both the body and the mental stamina of the river runner. The river cuts against the rocky banks, crashes into rocks and crevices and can be encountered breaking into white water rapids, foaming, swirling, and falling in a thunderous din.
With a major chunk of the Himalayas in the country, Nepal has excellent white water rafting/kayaking potential including several rivers still awaiting first descent. The variety of flora and fauna combined with the rich cultural heritage and hospitable people all along the Himalayas make rafting trips in these regions unforgettable experiences. Most of the river running itineraries can be combined with a trek, a wildlife safari and a cultural tour in the area. Thundering waters, coming from the glaciers of the mighty Himalaya, provide unmatched thrills for rafting and immersing oneself in the landscape. A rafting trip is bound to be the highlight of your stay in the country.
You will travel in groups in rafts, with an instructor at all times. Life jackets and other essential safety equipment are provided. You can stay overnight in luxury tents, pitched on beaches alongside the river, as we halt each night. You can also enjoy campfires and bonfire nights on river rafting tours in Nepal. As you swoop and tumble over the rapids with exotic names such as 'Roller Coaster;' 'Crossfire' and 'The Wall' this is the place to feel the excitement and heart-racing thrill of white water rafting.
Rivers are graded on a scale of one to six, with one being a swimming pool and six a one-way ticket to your maker. Four is considered to be quite challenging without being exceedingly dangerous to the novice rafter. Five requires some previous river experience
