The Trishuli River is by far the most easily accessible from Kathmandu as well as from Pokhara and Royal Chitwan National Park and is ideal for beginners. Unraveling deep gorges and rolling valleys, the river takes rafters through remarkable landscape before arriving in the plains (Terai). The exhilaration of tackling challenging rapids is followed by relaxing sections that allow time for admiring the surroundings. Any rafting trip in this river can last for one day three days and the river is open to rafting through the year, unlike other rivers where trips are not feasible during the monsoons.

Originated in the Tibet Autonomous region of China, the Trishuli River is a trans-boundary river and is one of the major tributaries of the Narayani River basin in central Nepal. More than 60 per cent of the total drainage basin of the Trishuli lies in Tibet with about 9 per cent being covered by snow and glaciers. 85 per cent of its catchment area of 4,640 square kilometres (1,790 sq mi) lies above 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) out of which 11 per cent lies above 6,000 metres (20,000 ft). It has been regularly gauged at Betrawati at an elevation of 600 metres (2,000 ft). The average lowest and the melt season discharges of this river are close to average discharges recorded on the Narayani River

With impressive gorges, exciting rapids, some easier sections and easy accessibility from Nepal’s major tourist hub as well as flexible amount of time make it the perfect trip for first –time or experienced rafters.

Note: There will be an orientation meeting with the rafting guide each day before the trip, providing you with an opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding any aspects of your rafting trips. 

Kayaking
A fantastic first timer river or warm up river for those going on to the bigger rivers in Nepal. Plenty of small rapids and a few challenging ones. This river is ideal for the first time kayaker. Though it should be noted in the monsoon its definatley not a river for the faint of heart or less skilled.

Please note that the Trishuli River Rafting Itinerary is very flexible and can be customized easily upon your request. As the driving distance from Kathmandu to put in point is only about 83km, it gives us plenty of flexibility either to do this as a one day trip, a two or three day trip or even to combine it with further activities such as Jungle safari in Chitwan, a visit to Lumbini – the birth place of Lord Buddha or to the enchantingly beautiful lakeside city of Pokhara. Let us know how you would like it and we will craft the itinerary accordingly.
