Rafting in Nepal

DISCOVER A RAFTING VACATION OF A LIFETIME
RAFTING IN NEPAL’S RIVERS

Nepal has a reputation for being one of the best places in the world for rafting and kayaking, with outstanding river journeys ranging from steep, adrenaline-charged mountain streams to classic big-volume wilderness expeditions.-Lonely Planet 2008. Nepal is a favorite destination for rafting enthusiasts and experienced river guides who travel the world looking for the best rivers to run. From the fast flowing rivers tumbling down from the mountains to the slow moving waters of the plains (Tarai), there is adventure unlimited. As the course of the river takes one from the cold Himalayan region all the way down to the hot humid plains of the tarai, a vast changing landscape unfolds before the beholder, unraveling the unmatched beauty of Nepal. Snow-capped mountains, terraced hill sides, lush green valleys and delightful little villages form part of the landscape as the boat floats down through narrow gorges and expansive valleys. A kingfisher swoops down to catch fish; an eagle circles high above keeping a sharp eye on prey below; Gharial crocodiles lie still on the river banks while monkeys comb the beaches for food. Such sights are common on a trip down the river. There is much to experience along the rivers of Nepal. People of many ethnic groups are encountered along the way, some of whom will gather in large groups to watch the rafts full of foreigners pass by their villages. The rivers of Nepal have their source in the high Himalaya where melting glaciers feed the ever flowing waters. Snow-fed lakes give rise to yet other rivers and some have their origins in the Tibetan plateau. They flow through forests, alpine meadows and the deepest gorges in the world to finally reach the plains from where they go on to merge with the Ganges in India. Rafting- A Team Sport/

Safety Measures

One does not go rafting on his/ her own but in a group along with the river guide and team work is of utmost importance. The river guide’s instructions must be taken seriously and each member of the group has an important part to play when paddling. Safety precautions are to be taken seriously such as wearing a lifejacket and helmet. How the boat is maneuvered through the rapids and how rocks are avoided, depends on how well the team is coordinated in its actions. Paddling according to the guide’s instructions averts disasters as he alone knows which way to go. Carelessness on the part of the team members can cause the boat to overturn. However, the guide will give instructions beforehand on how to tackle such a mishap. Spillovers do happen and that’s what life jackets and helmets are for. A typical Rafting Trip

A rafting trip generally begins with a bus ride that takes clients to the put in point (where the boat is put into the water).This is where the river trip really begins. The length of the drive depends on how far the put-in point is from where the journey began. On the banks of the river, the special rubber raft (boat) is pumped up full of air and all the equipment to be taken along are loaded. Each client receives a life-jacket, helmet and a paddle (not all trips use paddles) along with two water-proof bags to put in their belongings. Water-proof bags and containers are also used to keep camping equipment and food for the entire party. These are tied securely to the raft and opened only when the camping site is reached. On the other hand, the smaller personal bags are fastened to ropes on the side so that they are easily accessible during the trip as they may contain cameras, lotions, binoculars, etc. which come in handy during the trip. When the packing work is completed, the river guide gives safety talk, instructing the clients on what to do and what not to do while on the river. This is followed by instructions on how to use the paddle. During the trip, the guide will shout, “forward” coaxing the people to push the raft forward by paddling furiously one way, or it may be the other way to go around a rock. Similarly the boat may have to be steered left or right with the help of paddles. The idea of having the clients paddle is to add to the fun rather than have them merely as passengers. On other trips where there are elderly clients and children, the guide takes complete control of the raft by using large oars. Here no paddles are used and the guide is on his own maneuvering the boat through the rapids. Once the instructions have been given, everyone climbs in and the trip begins. Along the way, guides inform clients on the flora and fauna of the region, pointing out any birds and plants encountered by the riverside. Most rapids have been given names, so before arriving at one, he also shouts out its name. Generally, between 12 noon and 1 pm, a lunch stop is made on a white sandy beach. Nepal is blessed with white sandy beaches which are ideal for campsites. After an hour-long halt, it is time to move on. Rapids are what make a rafting trip so full of thrills and spills, with exotic names such as ‘Frog in a Blender’, ‘Dazed and Confused’, ‘Dead Man Eddy’ to name a few. The power of the water pushes the boat up over the crest giving thrill seekers an adrenaline rush that is quite unique. When the boat arrives at a gentle section of the river, everyone can relax and enjoy the peaceful ride and give their muscles a break. Some rivers however, can be quite demanding. During the river run, depending on the clients’ wishes, various stops are made so they can dive down into the river from a high rock or simply take a swim in the rapids. Rafting is not just about plunging down a fast flowing river, there is time to explore the surroundings, interact with local inhabitants and frolic in the water. Occasionally, beautiful waterfalls are encountered where one can stand under the invigorating shower cascading down from above. The day’s trip ends around 2pm when campsite is reached and tents are pitched. Guests often lend a hand in putting up the tents which is fun in itself. Some even help with the preparation of the food adding their personal touches. It’s a form of camping after all. Toilet tents are put up; one for guests and one for the staff. The boys start cooking in gas fires and soon tea is served around 4 pm. After tea or coffee, it is time to relax, chat or stroll around the beach. When twilight comes on the river, it is time for the last meal of the day. Dinner is served under candle light or gas light and winters are special as then a campfire is lit bringing everyone together to enjoy the camaraderie. There is nothing like sitting around a campfire for dinner. During the summer months, sleeping out in the open gazing at the stars is an unforgettable experience. The best weather for this sort of adventure is in October when there are no dew drops in the morning. There are many great rivers for rafting in Nepal and some trips also include a trek as a means to reach the river put in point. This greatly adds to the adventure
as trekking is one of the most popular tourism attractions. A trek allows a visitor to enjoy the enchanting beauty of Nepal’s diverse landscape while rafting is also a fun way to reach various destinations like the National Parks in Chitwan and Bardia. Tourists often take a rafting trip to reach Chit- wan where they embark on a safari in the well-preserved Chitwan National Park. Similarly, rafting down the Bheri and Karnali rivers in far west Nepal is an exciting means to reach the Bardia National Park. River trips can last anywhere from a day to ten days depending on how much time one wants to spend on the river and personal interests. Each river is classified on international standards according to how difficult it is to maneuver. Class I is the easiest and Class VI deemed too difficult for rafting. Things to take on a rafting trip Most Essential Sleeping Bag, inner lining for sleeping bag, mattress, towel and an extra set of clothing. Other Things to Bring Along Two pairs of polypropylene or polypro mix athletic socks are recommended. Cotton underwear: Light weight long sleeved shirt. Two cotton T-shirts.

A typical One & Two-day Trishuli Experience

Day 01:- Charaudi to Kuringhat:-

After an early breakfast, we leave Kathmandu at 6.30 a.m. for our exciting Trishuli trip. We drive for 2 ½ hours to reach Charaudi, our put-in point 80kms far form ktm(starting point for rafting) where we are greeted by locals with beaming smiles. They are happy to see foreign faces once again geared up for rafting. After the rafts have been assembled by the crew, we head towards the river for safety briefing when paddling procedures and safety equipment are explained in detail. During this day, we go through a number of rapids rated 1+ to 3+. The successful tackling of a rapid is like accomplishing a mission, a great experience. All rapids are rated or graded using an international rating scale. The grade of a rapid depends upon its difficulty level with 1 being the easiest and 6 being too difficult for rafting. The major rapids have been given interesting names and our informed guides can relate the story behind each one. After paddling for about two hours, we head for lunch to a beach unique for its strange sculptured boulders. Paddling through the splashing rapids inevitably tires our muscles and what could be more delightful than having a scrumptious meal al fresco, enjoying the sights and sounds of the river. Shortly after lunch, we enter the Trishuli gorge. As the canyon narrows, the walls become steeper, and the river accelerates giving rise to bigger rapids which arrive in greater frequency. It is time to hang on tight! Our last rapid Jhoolunge Pul (Pul means bridge in Nepali) is named after an old suspension bridge. Here we also often encounter an enthusiastic group of onlookers who line the bridge, waiting excitedly to see us pass below. The geological formations are extremely interesting along the Trishuli River. When we halt, those interested may help the crew with camp chores. Once the tents have been pitched, a savory dinner is prepared over gas stoves. Kunringhat is a popular destination among the Nepalese as it is the gateway to the holy Manakamana temple. It is believed that with the Goddess’ blessings, devotees will have their wishes fulfilled. It is wonderful camping out on the riverside with the bright stars so clear in the dark night sky while all The while enjoying the rumbling sound of the river. Our night does not end with dinner. Indeed, many adventure stories are told by the camp. Day 02: Kuringhat to Gaighat
Our morning starts early but our second day has a leisurely pace. After breakfast, we continue down from Kuringhat for yet another fun-filled day. This day definitely presents us with thrilling rapids, but it’s our last day on the river. We are also rewarded with delightful scenic views along the way. The green paddy fields, surrounding hills, riverside country life and the terraced hillsides are a delightful sight, adding immense pleasure to the river adventure. We raft for about 2 ½ hours till we reach the confluence of Trishuli and the raging Marsyangdi. The Marsyangdi River comes from west Nepal and is one of the most popular rivers for white water rafting. Marshyangdi is quite technical compared to Trishuli and is popular amongst keen rafting experts. Today the rafting ends at GaiGhat with lunch before boarding our bus to pokhara (approx 4hrs)Royal chitwan National park approx1 hrs) or back to Kathmandu (approx 4hrs.). The river Trishuli was named after the ever-present ‘Trident’ of Lord Shiva, a popular God of the Hindus. Given its easy access from Kathmandu and Pokhara, this river is also Nepal’s most popular for whitewater rafting. Ideal for novices as well as the experienced, the Trishuli flows though fascinating valleys, amazing gorges, rolling rapids, while it also has relaxing sections making the trip a great experience. The usual trip lasts from a day to three days. Although most rivers are unsuitable for rafting during certain seasons, the Trishuli is open to keen rafters even during peak monsoon. The swollen waters present their own challenges making the Trishuli an exciting trip. Some of the well-known rapids encountered are: Snail’s nose, Malekhu rapid, Ladies Delight, Highway, Upset, Surprise, S-Bend and Pinball Rapid. Two Days on the Trishuli

Day 1 - Charaudi
Soon after breakfast, at about 7.30 am the bus leaves Kathmandu heading for Charaudi, the put-in point. After a 2 ½ hour drive, Charaudi is reached where a crowd of friendly local people eagerly wait to watch the proceedings. The sight of foreigners all geared up for rafting fascinates them. The crew prepares the rafts, after which all head towards the river for Safety Talk and lessons on how to use paddles. On the first day a number of Class I to Class III rapids are encountered. Ratings are all given on the international rating scale. Two hours down the river is a beach with strange shaped boulders that resemble sculptures and this is the lunch spot. Outdoor lunch by the river is always an enchanting experience. It also gives everyone a break from paddling and time to take in the scenery and sounds of the natural surroundings. Paddling down after lunch, a large gorge is encountered, the Trishuli gorge, which is narrow and the walls very steep causing the river to accelerate through it. Naturally the rapids here are more ferocious and also more frequent. This is an exciting section and time to hold on tight. We finally come across a rapid named after a very old suspension bridge, Jhoolunge Pul. Looking up one can see a crowd of locals chattering with excitement as they watch the adventurous foreigners tackle the river on rubber boats. One thing to watch for along the riverside, are the geological formations that look intriguing. At the end of the day, it is time to stop and set up camp at Kuringhat, which is a very popular weekend getaway for expatriates and locals as well. The crew gets busy pitching up tents and everyone is welcome to help in whatever chores need to get done. A feeling of togetherness is encouraged which adds a lot to the enjoyment of the trip. Dinner is prepared under gas fires and it is also the time to come together and share experiences. Camping out under the brilliant stars on the riverside with the roar of the river as a backdrop is an amazing experience. Campsite dinners can be quite entertaining when people share their personal tales. Day 2 – Kuringhat
Comparatively, the second day starts at a leisurely pace. Soon after an early breakfast, it is time to move and the wonderful Kuringhat is left behind for yet more adventures on the river. There are numerous bouncy rapids along this stretch and the views are splendid. Enjoy the sights of emerald hillsides and golden paddy fields of the Nepalese countryside. One and a half hours down river is the confluence of the Trishuli and the rumbling Marsyangdi. Coming from west Nepal, the Marsyangdi is a very popular river for white water rafting. Being more technical than the Trishuli, it attracts a lot of avid rafters. The trip however, doesn’t end here and rafting further down, a place called Tea Pot is reached. The exhilarating river run comes to an end here and guests either drive back to Kathmandu or head on down to Chitwan for a safari in the pristine jungles of the Chitwan National Park, Asia’s most well-preserved wildlife habitat. Explore wildlife Jungle Safari
Many people choose to extend their stay for an extra three days to experience safari. Close to Kathmandu is the (146km) Chitwan National Park which is a world famous reserve and one of the last places to see the Asian one-horned Rhino. The action packed three days include a visit to the village of Tharu, an elephant back safari ride, travel in a dug out canoe, and a visit to the elephant breeding centre.
