River rafting vacations ranging from one to twelve days are available on some of Nepal's most scenic and challenging rivers. These wild rivers, which flow from Tibet's hidden plateau, drop deep into Nepal's rugged, muddy mid-hills before meandering over the Indian Plain to join the hallowed Ganges. A river trip is one of the most important methods to explore a typical cross-section of Nepal's natural heritage in a country like Nepal. This action-packed excursion to the foothills will certainly become your favorite outing sport for many years, whether it's just the two of you for a romantic weekend or perhaps.

The river winds through some of Nepal's most beautiful valleys, ethnic communities, and landscapes. The excursions provide a variety of wilderness river experiences, ranging from gently flowing stretches to roaring wild and wet rapids. All whitewater river rafting guides have had extensive training and certification in aquatic activities.

Rivers are classified according to their difficulty on a scale of 1 to 6.

Class 1 river has a slower stream and few or no barriers.

Class 2 and 3 rivers are often fast-moving, with occasional impediments and minor to medium-sized rapids.

Class 4 rivers contain lengthy, continuous periods of white water and strong waves, necessitating intensive paddling and superb boat cooperation.

Class 5 rivers include intense, extended sections of rapids and large holes that need significant paddling and, ideally, previous rafting expertise.

Class 6 is nearly tough to complete.

You can select river rafting trips spanning 1 to 12 days on some of Nepal's most beautiful and adventurous rivers.

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) have the clearest mountain views. Each trip page lists its best months.
