Trishuli River Rafting

20/04/2026

Inside India’s First All-Female Kayaking Revolution | In April 2023, eight women launched their kayaks into the icy waters of the Himalayan Ganga River. Led by India’s top female kayaker, Naina Adhikari, it was the first all-female kayaking expedition of the river. Over three nights and countless rapids, a movement was born: Ganga Girls.

Three years prior, I received an Instagram message from Adhikari. I knew of her as “that kayaker girl from India,” but we had never met. She had responded to a post I made about sexism in the whitewater industry, saying it resonated deeply.

While I’d faced inequality—being paid half as much as male champions at freestyle competitions—Adhikari’s experiences were far more harrowing. “In India, if I’m on an expedition, I have to worry if anybody is going to misbehave with me because they’re drunk… I have to worry if there is a man who is trying to hit me because he’s frustrated from a raft trip.”

Until speaking with Adhikari, I didn’t realize how privileged I was to have a full women’s class to compete with. Or how lucky I was to kayak with women and to feel safe with my male kayaking partners. I decided I wanted to meet her and learn her story.

An Incomplete Guide To Stereotyping Canoeists | Subspecies: Backpackis familiaris

Vernacular: “Pack rat”

Defining feature: Carries food in canvas backpacks waterproofed with black garbage bags. Slowly evolving toward use of waterproof nylon packs.

Markings: Brightly-colored tie-dyed shirt advertising rock and roll band that broke up before she was born. Often displays a wet posterior from the insidious dripping of invariably wet packs.

Behavior: Travels in large groups in slowly leaking Grummans. Struggles on longer portages as thin leather pack straps cause painful bisection of collarbone from shoulder blade. Protects food from wildlife by constructing elaborate systems to suspend packs from overhanging trees, but only for the first night.

Life span: Short. Ends soon after parents stop paying for camp.

Shiva Adhikari: A Visionary Leader in Nepal’s Tourism, River Conservation & Responsible Development

Born in the scenic village of Fulkharka, Dhading, Shiva Adhikari is a pioneering figure in Nepal’s adventure tourism and environmental conservation. With over 22 years of hands-on experience in whitewater rafting, trekking, mountain expeditions, and eco-tourism, he is the Founding Director of Adrift Adventures Pvt. Ltd., and Founder & President of Nepal Mountain Travel & Tours Pvt. Ltd.—two of Nepal’s leading travel companies promoting responsible adventure across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and India.

A strong advocate for sustainable tourism, Mr. Adhikari has championed the balance between nature-based tourism, local empowerment, and environmental protection. As the immediate past President of the Nepal Association of Rafting Agencies (NARA), he played a key role in shaping rafting safety standards, advocating river conservation, and promoting Nepal’s river sports on the global stage.

His expertise spans hotel management, media, and sociology, having earned his Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Journalism. Mr. Adhikari is also a founding promoter of Nepal Investment Mega Bank Ltd., reflecting his wider commitment to economic development and investment in Nepal.

With intimate knowledge of Nepal’s rivers like the Karnali, Bheri, Mahakali, Trishuli, Bhote Koshi, Seti, Sun Koshi, and many hidden gems, he has led exploratory expeditions and community-based conservation projects. His life’s mission is grounded in a powerful belief:
“We save what we love, and we love what we know.”

In the aftermath of the 2015 Gorkha earthquake, Shiva Adhikari emerged as a leader in rebuilding the tourism sector—reviving hope, restoring infrastructure, and promoting Nepal’s resilient spirit globally. His legacy is built on honesty, hard work, and unwavering passion for Nepal’s natural and cultural richness.

Today, he stands as a symbol of visionary leadership in tourism, environmental advocacy, and inclusive development, earning national and international accolades for his contribution.
