Trishuli River Rafting

Overview

The Trishuli is Nepal’s most popular rafting river with impressive gorges, exciting rapids, and some calmer waters. Rafting the Trishuli is one of the most popular outdoor activities in Nepal. Comprised of snow melt from Mt. Ganesh and Langtang Himal ranges, it starts quite close to Kathmandu and flows east towards Pokhara and then towards Chitwan.

It is a great way to shorten the often arduous bus trip from Kathmandu to Pokhara or Chitwan. Well, you won’t avoid that bumpy bus trip entirely but you can make it a lot easier by taking the Trishuli for the first part and joining the bus later!

Gliding past green rice fields through traditional villages, past sandy beaches and under suspension bridges the Trishuli is the way to do this trip.

Some challenging rapids in parts but not overly-so this river is suitable to all paddlers, first-timers or experienced with plenty of calmer waters to simply enjoy the scenery.

And don’t forget your swimming costume! This is an ideal river for swimming and even cliff-jumping for the more adventurous souls.
