What is
Whitewater Rafting?
White water rafting is negotiating river rapids and obstacles in
an inflatable rubber boat with a team of up to eight people and
a river guide. Rivers are graded from easy to near-impossible
according to their size, the intensity of their rapids and the
difficulties that may affect rescue attempts.
Whitewater Rafting in Nepal
Whatever your desire for adventure, it is easy to find the
perfect river in Nepal. With a wide range of difficulties from a
gentle 2-day float down the Seti river, to an exhilarating
10-day adventure through the rapids of the remote Tamur and
Karnali, there is an experience for everyone waiting in Nepal's
famous white waters. Nepal's rivers change with the seasons.
Each year, after the heavy monsoon rains the waters swell,
changing the run of the rivers and the nature of the rapids. New
rapids are created; others become more difficult and some simply
impossible to navigate. It is important to remember that some of
the white water action you are about to read about could have
changed by the time you come to run the river. At WWN we are
constantly monitoring changes in the rivers and their rapids, so
that we can always ensure the safety of our clients and plan
expeditions with precision...
Short Rafting Trips
Short trips take between one and four days and do not involve
any trekking. Some of these trips involve less challenging white
water and are ideally suited to first time rafters and families.
Others attract experien-ced thrill-seekers with their
world-class rapids.
Long Rafting Trips
Our longer trips take you into some of Nepal’s most remote
areas. Often they begin with short treks to the river. On these
treks we employ local porters to carry our gear and supplies, so
all you need to carry are your own personal belongings.
Many of our long trips finish close to some of our less easily
accessible National Parks and Wildlife Reserves (the Karnali
trip actually finishes in the Bardia National Park). So you may
wish to combine your rafting trip with a safari adventure and go
in search of our native tigers, bears and rhinos!
