'When I arrived at the side of the river for the first time I had no idea what to expect, I even asked the guide if he thought that I might get wet. He was kind enough not to laugh at me.
That was last year; one year and six river journeys later I know that you get very very wet, feel terror in your heart in some of the class 5 rapids, wonder in your soul at the staggering beauty of the rivers and surrounding areas and you know that each river journey will be forever imprinted in your memory.’ Alison Blanchard, Portugal

‘I thought that I would take one rafting trip when I got to Nepal, I had heard that it was good there. That was not true, it was amazing! I postponed my flight to Thailand, stayed in Nepal for an extra month and took as many rafting trips as my credit card would sustain. Adventure Whitewater are the business; great people, lots of excellent food and also real value for money. My ambition is to raft all the rivers in Nepal with them.’ Martin Tuff, UK

‘I came to Nepal and fell in love. I fell in love with the people of this wonderful country, its culture and the beautiful scenery, this was partly because of the excellent rafting experiences I had. Adventure Whitewater are a superb company with well-trained guides that I felt very secure with as a first time rafter. I would definitely use this company again.’ Eva Hendriksen, Netherlands

‘Wonderful, wonderful Nepal, what can I say, I have had such a magical time here and I can’t wait to come back. I never thought that I would try rafting, it looked far too scary for me, but my two trips on the the Kali Gandaki and Sunkoshi were perfect in every way.’ Michelle Brooks, England

For a long time there was the dream " Whitewater Kayaking" in Nepal. One afternoon in the late summer some friends visited me. They saw the white water guide book laying on my table. From this moment on they were also infected by the idea to come to Nepal for kayaking.
We planned the rivers we want to kayak and we were looking for a rafting company to support our plans. So we got into contact with Bidur from Adventure Whitewater. With the help of Bidur we detailed and modified the plans for our white water expedition. So we arrived in Kathmandu more than one year after the above mentioned afternoon in the beginning of November.
We were at the Karnali and enjoyed the days on the river. Khim and Shankar paddled the raft with the camping equipment and food, we (a group of 4 guys) paddled in our kayaks. Our raft guides did well in explaining the river and showing the best way down through the big rapids. Also beside the river they did a really good job in finding excellent camp sites and cooking.
The next destination was the Modi Khola and Kali Gandaki. There we took all our camping stuff and food in our kayaks. We had challenging days on the rivers, especially on the Modi Kola, a very steep creek. Adventure Whitewater organized the shuttle and the porters to the put in and the shuttle from the take out.
Also for the Marsyandi the transportation was managed by Mountain River Rafting. We paddled 4 days on this world class river with outstanding scenery.
After 4 weeks holiday in Nepal I only can recommend to come to Nepal for kayaking, to make a cultural experience in Kathmandu and to enjoy the friendly people here. Go kayaking below the highest mountains in the world and make your dreams come true.
You should not worry about big organization work before. Contact Adventure Whitewater, tell your wishes and they will arrange great trips for you.

Thank you Bidur, Khim and Shankar
