In fact, Nepal is known to contain the
world’s best rivers for white-water
experiences. After mountain expedition
river rafting is the most exciting and
adventurous sport in Nepal. It is a
journey on the torrential river on an
inflatable rubber boat. Those who can’t
afford time and prefer less rigorous
adventure choose rafting on Himalayan
rivers to quench their thirst for
adventure. This is relatively easy,
cheap and short. From the seat of rubber
raft, you will see the colorful flora,
fauna, and village life of that area.
Few countries in the world offer the
thrill of white water in such an
impressive setting on rushing rivers
flowing through tropical jungles with
snow- capped peaks in the distance. The
combination of spectacular rivers,
mountain scenery and a rich culture
heritage makes Nepal an obvious river
runner’s destination. No other country
has such a choice of trips on wild
rivers with warm water, a subtropical
climate and big white-sand beaches that
are ideal for camping. A full day trip
is about 5hrs. Action (rafting), which
is probably enough for most people to
allow enough time for filming of
photography, changing wet clothes,
toilet etc. and finally socializing and
talking with the locals.
The rafting activity are graded on a
scale of one to six according to
difficulties with one being like to
swimming pool and six a one-way traffic
(rated in Colorado river) or considered
nearly impossible to negotiate. Anyone
who is in reasonable physical shape and
isn’t afraid of water can safely go
rafting on rivers with grading from one
to three.

Kayaking:
Kayaking is an important water sport,
which is very popular in Nepal. Its
influence has also been felt in the
country and is quite popular among the
visitors. Kayaking is possible in all
the rivers where rafting has been
popularized. Generally, the lovers of
this sport prefer the single expedition.
Climate and when to go:
Nepal's climate is dictated by the
monsoon, which arrives in June and
usually finishes in late September. The
monsoon brings torrential rains that
flood the rivers so most people wouldn't
want to be kayaking or rafting at this
time. Peak season for tourists and for
rafting is probably October through
November: the monsoon is over,
everything is very green, rivers are
moderately high but dropping,
temperatures are warm and skies are
clear with fine mountain views. The only
disadvantages with this time of year are
that it is the peak season and airline
reservations are harder to get; also you
cannot be sure when the monsoon will
finish: it can be a month late and this
can throw your plans into chaos if you
are planning on running a river where
water levels are critical - as they are
on many of Nepal's rivers.
The winter months from late December
through to early February are cold, but
skies are still clear and river levels
will be low. Lots of river running
groups come out over Christmas and have
a great time, but you certainly should
expect cold water and perhaps think in
terms of wet suits and dry tops.
From late February through to early
April is also a good time for river
running - river levels are reliably low,
air temperature warm, rivers warm and
blue. The disadvantage is that the air
is often hazy: you cannot be assured of
stunning mountain views and there may be
an occasional shower of rain. In the
past, many kayakers and rafters have
visited Nepal over the Christmas
holiday, when the facts seem to suggest
that Easter might he a better time.
