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. 

Swiftwater rescue techniques like self-rescue and buddy rescue are essential for safety. We assess your skills, provide instruction, navigate the river's challenges, and prioritize your safety. 

Before embarking on this adventure, consult a doctor to ensure you're physically fit for the demands and prioritize safety by ensuring you meet these requirements.
