Rafting in Nepal

Probably the most popular activity, after trekking, is rafting on the various rivers Nepal has to offer.

Nepal is home to eight out of the fourteen highest peaks in the world, and from these breathtaking heights, rivers crash down through the foothills, fed by monsoon rains and melting snow, on their way to the Great Plains of the Ganges.

On these rivers you will find the world's most thrilling whitewater's with a wide range of difficulties, warm water and bug free beaches for camping. All this makes a wealth of unlimited opportunities for great rafting & kayaking. Whether you are interested in a short, medium or long rafting experience, please see our Rafting & Kayaking page for more information about the various rivers and trips.
