Rafting on Trisuli River:
A rafting trip
in Trisuli needs no recommendations: thousand of thrilled
rafters have written home and recommended the trip to their
friends. For many people it represents the ideal compromise
trip: just the right length of time, exhilarating rapids, but
not too difficult, easily accessible from Kathmandu and at
reasonable price. The rapids on the Trisuli are mainly big,
bouncy and relatively safe: 'flips' (where the raft capsized)
or other accidents are rare in normal water conditions, and
also it is possible to walk around the few difficult rapids.
There is a
wide choice of different length trips on offer, from a one
week relaxed trip all the way from Trisuli Bazar to Chitwan to
half day 'testers' specials. Trisuli Bazar is normally only a
starting point in higher water conditions - Sept/Oct or
April/May. For many people the optimum length trip is 3 days,
starting at or near Malekhu and taking out near Gaighat. This
gives you a full and satisfying experience - you run all the
major rapids, watch the river grow as its tribtaries join,
marvel as it cuts its way through impressive gorges, then
leave it just before when it spreads out over the great plain
of the Ganges.
In case of
time constraints, then a one or two day trips can be done -
these can also save travel time if scheduled as a break of the
journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara or Kathmandu to Chitwan.
These short trips can vary from fairly relaxed float trips,
avoiding the more difficult rapids, to one-day 'roller
coaster' specials. The latter can run some of the best of the
white water but pose obvious dangers and can be a rather
vicarious experience. |

River Rafting |
|
Starting
point: Nayapul

The new road built from Pokhara to
Baglung few years ago has dramatically improved access to this
river. The put-in and take-out are roughly 3 hours and
half-day from Pokhara. True connoisseurs of river exploration
will want to extend the rafting trip and continue on below
Ramdi down the lower part of the Kali Gandaki, into the
Narayani and down to Chitwan National Park because this lower
section is easier and different in character. |
