Rafting & Kayaking in Nepal

Nepal offers some of the world's best river journeys

Calm stretch on the Sun KosiA River-runner's Delight...

With her impressive geography, friendly ethnic peoples, plentiful wildlife and magnificent mountain scenery, Nepal is a river runner's paradise. The unique experience of river travel shows you the face of Nepal that is truly wild and splendid, taking you to the heart of the rural Nepalese country where there are no roads and nature is pristine. From a short scenic float down the Seti to Class V "roller-coaster" whitewater on the Karnali, the rivers of Nepal offer an adventure for anyone who loves the outdoors.

Traveling on a river in Nepal is a wonderful experience. The days are warm and the scenery is spectacular. We camp on beautiful beaches that have a new layer of sand deposited on them every Monsoon. Once we leave the put-in, there are few indications of modern civilization as we pass through farmland and jungle. The friendly local inhabitants are as curious about us as we are about them.

Our selection of river trips in Nepal include some of the best in the world, and are operated to international standards by Ultimate Descents.
