Whitewater Rafting in
Nepal |
|
|
If you really enjoy
the thrill of playing with the
currents of Himalayan river flowing
down rapidly in its hurry to meet
the ocean, than Nepal can certainly
be the destination you are searching
for. These Himalayan rivers shaped by
the surroundings mountains provide
some real challenges to the
white-water paddlers. A series of
the world's most outstanding river
journeys are found here. From steep
gushing mountain streams to classic
river floats and big-volume
wilderness river expeditions, the
choice is for you to make.
A White water rafting means cruising
down a rushing river in an
inflatable rubber raft or white
water kayak over crashing waves &
swirling rapids for the excitement
of a lifetime.
The rivers of Nepal
take travelers to the very heart of
a magical land and is one of the
most exciting ways of exploring
Nepal's ancient cultures & unspoiled
landscapes. Rising from the glaciers
of the highest mountain range on
earth and from the mysterious high
plateau of Tibet the rivers plunge
through narrow gorges and traverse
their rugged foothills. Along its
course the rivers pass through many
life-zones traveling through alpine
meadows, sub-tropical forests & the
lush tropical jungles of lowland
Nepal. A rafting trip will certainly
be the highlight of any tourist’s
visit to our country. Nepal is a
river runner's paradise – probably
no other country has such a choice
of multi-day trips, away from roads,
in such magnificent mountainous
surroundings, with warm rivers, a
semi tropical climate, impressive
geography, exotic cultures, wildlife
and friendly welcoming people! Enjoy
scenic rafting, one of the best ways
to explore the typical cross section
of natural as well cultural heritage
of the country.
One can glide on
clean jade waters with magnificent
scenery all around or rush through
roaring white rapids. Rafting is
inarguably the best way of exploring
Arcadian Nepal, as it takes the
participant through hamlets,
canyons, virgin forests & wildlife.
The rafting trip can be combined
with most of our tour or trek
programms. |
