White water rafting is negotiating river rapids and obstacles in an inflatable rubber boat with a team of up to eight people and a river guide. Rivers are graded from easy to near-impossible according to their size, the intensity of their rapids and the difficulties. Many people are naturally a little bit fearful if they haven’t been on white water before, but after the first rapid ‘hit’ – as long as people are physically fit and not scared of water they can safely go on water of class 2 to 3.
For our rafting trips we have chosen the Trishuli which is the most easily accessible river.. The Trishuli is the most popular because of its accessibility of road along its major part. a Trishuli trip can be easily managed to end at a place where a wildlife tour begins. It is Graded 2 to 3 thus making it suitable for novices but at the same time give an exhilarating experience.

Day 1
We leave Kathmandu early in the morning and drive approximately 3 hrs. to Charaundi, our put-in point. We begin with a lunch on the beach. After the crew assembles the raft, they will explain the safety equipment and proper procedures. After that we enter the Trishuli gorge.It begins with small rapids and as the canyon narrows the walls becomes steep, the current accelerates and the rapids increase in the size and frequency.
During the day, we run a numbers of rapids, that rate to 2 to 3.
We end the day after negotiating the last rapid, Jholungepul, named for an extensive suspension bridge. We camp at Kurintar on a sandy beach on the Trishuli beach..
Day 2
Our second day has a leisurely pace. We will come across half a dozen of exciting rapids which a team effort to negotiate. We spend the whole day within its forested canyon- one of the many in the Mahabharat range. We eat lunch beside the river and have time to explore, bird watch, photograph and learn about the local people. We end the day after negotiating the rapid “coffee pot”. We camp at Gai Ghat.
