 RIVER RAFTING IN NEPAL

The fact that you want to raft down Nepal's challenging rivers means that you have long ago graduated from the nursery school of "Row, row, row you boat" The many "raft-able" rivers in Nepal meander between canyons villages and virgin forests, wildlife, like needle through thread weaving the country's rich tapestry of ethno-culture and bio-diversity. Originating in the bowels of the Himalayas. these rivers flow across the length and breadth of Nepal and neighboring India, before emptying mostly into the Bay of Bengal.

Kaligandaki River (Grade 5-5+):
Sacred Hindu river, here the rapids are technically challenging, winding through canyons and gorges. Starting at Baglung, you could raft down to Ramdighat in five-six days. You may then continue on to the confluence with the Trisuli at Devghat, adding another 130 km and 3-4 days. More Info

SETI RIVER:
The Seti river rises on the south east slopes of Machapuchare and then flows south as a unique river passing through two beautiful and contrasting scenic areas. More Info

The Arun is respected as one of the most mighty and powerful famous river in Nepal. Its source is on the Tibetan Plateau. Big rapids, good scenery, unspoilt and little traveled. The Arun from Tumlingtar is another option.

More difficult manoeuving required but routes are
normally obvious. Scouting from the shore is
occasionally necessary.

Class: 4 Very Difficult:
Large rapid that require careful manoeuving. Dangerous hazards. Scouting from the shore is often necessary and rescue is usually difficult. kayakers should be able to roll.

Continuous, powerful, confused water makes route finding
difficult and scouting from the shore is essential.

needs to be 100%. Rescue is very difficult or impossible and in
the event of a mishap there is a significant hazard to life.

Class: 6 Nearly impossible:
Difficulties of class 6 carried to the extremely of navigatibility. Might possibly (but not probably) be run by a team of experts at the right water level in the right conditions with all possible safety precautions, but still with considerable hazard to life.

SAFETY:
***Safety is the most important part of any river trip. Choosing a professional veteran rafting guide is the first step. So it helps    to abide by the following tips:
***Pick your river with care. Seek information from river guide before raft. Literature on river levels and difficulty.
***There should be a minimum of two rafts per trip, So that one can help when a fall happens from the other.
***Carry first-aid kit, Survival and rescue gear.
***Check to see that end loops and the leash are adequate before you push off. This makes it easier to keep hold of your boat when swimming big rapids, and also in the event of rescue.

Be a team person, paddle synchronously.
For boats, paddles and helmets, loud colors are recommended.
Wear life jackets and helmets, properly too
Keep your feet and arms inside the raft at all time.
When you fall off into a rapid, float on your back, with your feet downstream.
