The Himalayas, along with their glaciers, make Nepal a river runner's paradise. Nepal is full of beautiful rivers, which originate from the beautiful Himalayas in the north and flow south to the lowland plains. Rafting down the relatively warm water, which is so uncharacteristic of a Himalayan river, gets people acquainted with the cultural diversity as they pass by, making a unique adventure and undoubtedly one of the world's most popular adventure travel activities.
The choice of a river for the rafting trip will depend on the duration of your visit and your fitness level. Rivers are graded from 01 to 06 on the international scale, with class 01 being the easiest and class 06 the hardest. It can vary from the seven-day white water trip down the Sunkosi, Karnali, or Tamur to a short one along the Trisuli, Marsyangdi, and Kali Gandaki. Regardless of the rafting you plan for yourself, it is certain to give you the joy of clean blue water, appealing beaches, affable villagers, and some of the most spectacular sceneries of Nepal.
