Nepal
is one of the best places in the world for river
rafting. Numerous fine rivers offer excellent
opportunities for rafting, canoeing and simply
immersing oneself in the magnificent landscape.
Nepal’s thundering waters, coming from the glaciers
of the mighty Himalayan, provide unmatched thrills.
No other country has such a choice of trips on wild
rivers with warm water, a subtropical climate and
white sand beaches. Truly, this could be the
highlight of your lifetime. The beautiful rivers
surrounded by the mountain scenery, flora and fauna
and the unique cultural heritage of the local
people, make Nepal an obvious river runner’s
destination.
Far more than just a wet rollercoaster ride, river
journeys are the essence of escapism. On a river
expedition there are no hassles, no stress, and only
a very convoluted sense of time. Life is dominated
by the simple and basic necessities of food, sleep,
sun, and travel. A river journey is a succession of
beach campsites separated by miles of
gravity-powered adrenalin and water-induced
reflection. Time ceases to exist: it slows and bends
as you ride the surge. The last part of a rapid is a
brown chaos, frenzied paddling and screams of
anguish and sheer delight. The transition into flat
water is as startling as it is sudden and you wonder
how you managed to stay on board.
