White Water Rafting is the second
popular program in Nepal. River journey is not only
for encountering with challenge of the torrential
rapids of the mountain rivers but also to explore
a typical cross section of the country’s natural
as well as enthno-cultural heritage. The northern
part of Nepal is confined by the ever snowing mountains-
Mt. Everest, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and numerous
peaks. The melting snows of these mountains enrich
Nepal the second richest country in water resources
and equally make the best country for whitewater rafting
and kayaking. Any raft enthusiast who has already
explored the major rivers of the world says the rivers
of Nepal provide a combination of thrill, challenge
and cultural experience not found anywhere else in
the world.
