  • Day 4-10 Sunkoshi

    Sunkoshi is the biggest volume and the longest commercially run river in Nepal. The riverside development and extractions have taken away part of its remoteness but still keeping its exhilarating whitewater and wilderness experience.

    The overnight bus ride to central Nepal will be the longest bus ride we will do during this trip. 


    Arriving at Marshyangdi, the day break provides a much-needed opportunity to rest, recharge, and prepare mentally and physically for the challenging boulder garden 4/4+ whitewater madness that lies ahead. 


    After the river run, driving to Pokhara, the adventure hub, provides a well-deserved transition to a more leisurely phase of the trip. 

  • Day 14 Pokhara

    Today there is an option for those who want to rest and re-energise by simply sitting, sipping beer, reading books or going on a refreshing adventure such as paragliding, swing, bungee jumping etc.

    Trishuli is one of Nepal's most popular rivers for rafting and kayaking, known for its beautiful scenery and thrilling rapids. We will experience the thrill of whitewater one final time before concluding our adventure.

  • Day 20 Kathmandu

    The final activity of the trip, heading to the Monkey Temple (Swayambhunath Stupa), offers a perfect way to culminate the adventure with a blend of spirituality and scenic beauty.

Nepal's 4+ rapids on a kayak demands both physical prowess and technical expertise. Paddling against fast currents and maneuvering rapids requires excellent upper body strength, core stability, and strong cardiovascular endurance. 


Swimming confidently is a must in case of a capsize. On the skill side, prior whitewater kayaking experience, especially on Class 3 rapids, is crucial.
