The best mini-rafting expedition in Nepal, this trip gives you a taste of Nepal’s vibrant river culture. Sixty rapids in sixty seconds, need we say more?!

This trip requires a minimum of four people to run.Best seasonSimilar to the majority of the river trips in Nepal, this river is at it’s best just after the monsoon when the rivers are flowing high.

The river is still possible to run in Jan-March, however, this is winter in Nepal so the temperatures drop considerably. Experienced requiredNo previous experience required for rafters.
