White Water Rafting

Thanks to the Himalayas, Nepal has some of the best, most scenic and most varied whitewater on earth. The shorter trips are hugely accessible, even to beginners, while a few of the longer trips are world classics, offering the experience of a lifetime.

As well as the tranquility of being deep in the countryside, away from towns and roads, rafting offers the thrills, laughter and companionship that comes from shooting rapids. Then there’s the sheer escapism of life on the river: camping on white ­sand beaches, campfires under the stars, warm water (most rivers in Nepal are at lower, semitropical elevations), jungle ­clad slopes, wildlife and birds.

Some of the more remote trips, meanwhile, also include mini­ treks through little ­visited areas just to get to the starting point.
