The scenery of
river Trishuli includes small gorges and a glimpse of the cable
car leading to the famous Hindu Temple Manakamana. For the most
of the year the rapids encountered on the Trisuli are
straightforward, easily negotiated and well spaced out. Trisuli
river is an excellent river for those looking for a short river
trip, without the challenge of huge rapids, but with beautiful
scenery and a relatively peaceful environment. During the
monsoon months the intensity of the rapids increases and
attracts a radically different set of rafters.
Location,
Transportation and Timetable
The put-in point for Trisuli River Rafting/Kayaking is located
just 3 to 3.5 hour drive west of Kathmandu, making it an
excellent choice for short trips, or for those who are en route
to Pokhara or Chitwan National Park.
The Trisuli can be rafted for anything between 1 and 3 days, 20
- 60 km. Most people opt for the classic two day trip. The
return journey to Kathmandu is 5 hours, to Pokhara is
