Rafting in Nepal

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.
