Nepal is a country very popular for one of the important natural resources, water. We have numerous waterfalls and rivers of different sizes. For rafting, it is easy to find the river of your choice in Nepal.

Depending upon the difficulties, rivers are divided into easy, moderate, and dangerous categories according to their size, intensity, and the difficulty for navigation and rescue attempts. Nepal’s river size changes with the season. The volume of water increases after the monsoon rain, which changes the nature of rapids. It creates new rapids and sometimes makes them very difficult or even nearly impossible to navigate.

Rafting can vary from 1-day trips to 14-day trips. Trips from 1 to 4 days are categorized as short trips, while 4 days and longer are considered long trips. Short trips generally feature easier rapids and are suited for first-timers and families. Long trips often include short treks as well. Sometimes, local porters are hired to help rafters carry their belongings as well as the rafting equipment.

Things you need to bring for the trip:

For Rafting:
Shorts or half pants, T-shirts (long sleeve for sun protection), swimwear, sun cap/glasses/cream, personal water bottle, and a pair of river sandals.

For Camping:
Personal sleeping bag , lightweight shirts, trousers / pants , undergarments, socks, towel, light shoes, warm pullovers, flashlight, personal toiletries, camera, reading and writing materials, and any medication recommended by your doctor.
