Marshyangdi River Rafting

Locally, it says that Marshyangdi is the raging river in Nepal and describes one of the best whitewater runs in the world. One of the best class 4 kayaking rivers in the world-continuous,exhilarating whitewater with magnificent mountain backdrops. Recommended for expert kaykers and rafters.

If it’s adventure you seek, you’ll find it on this trip with one day of easy trekking and five days of intense rafting.

Only recently opened for commercial rafting (many rapids have not been named yet), the Marshyangdi is one of the next generations of rivers in Nepal, steeper and with a much more continuous stretch of rapids.

The scenery is magnificent with every bend of the river opening up fresh vistas of some of the world's highest mountains, but these are behind-as someone said "great views but you need rear view mirrors"
