About Our Rafting Trips
General information on our Nepal rafting trips
River
Difficulty Grading
We choose our departures to coincide with optimum river levels and climate, as we like warm water and sunshine. All the rivers we run are free flowing, and rivers levels can fluctuate dramatically over the season. High water provides the exhilaration of greater speed, bigger waves, and challenging rafting. Lower flows require tight teamwork and more precise maneuvering. The grades mentioned are based on the flows we normally run. Actual water levels during your trip may be higher and the river more demanding.
It is important to select the journey that suits your interests and abilities. The river grades and time of year are factors that could influence your choice. Our trips range from gentle floats in the wilderness to some of the world’s most exciting whitewater. We are happy to help you decide which trip to choose.
Class I-II Easy Flatwater, little current and
mild waves.
Class III Moderate Waves, swift current and narrow
channels. Paddling is modestly physical.
Class IV-V Difficult Powerful water constricted
channels, steep drops, and the possibility of overturning a raft.
Paddling is challenging and at times strenuous.
Class VI Unrunnable Something best attempted after
your lover leaves you...
