| What
is kayaking? |
|
Kayaking is usually an individual water
sport. Kayaks are made from a special type
of plastic and have floatation devices inserted
to aid buoyancy. Kayakers move through the
water with a double blade paddle, and are
able to negotiate rapids and obstacles on
the river. |
| Kayaking in
Nepal |
With
its wide range of rivers and wealth of challenging
rapids, Nepal is the perfect destination for
kayaking. Whether you are a total beginner
or an experienced white water kayaker keen
to tackle one of our more challenging rivers,
we can arrange a fun and rewarding kayaking
experience for you.
Our kayaking school is particularly popular,
and we see many familiar faces return to try
increasingly exciting river journeys! |

Ever run a white water river in your own
boat? Just you and the challenge
of the river. Run rapids, surf big waves,
all the fun stuff. Need some skills? We
can help.
We can teach everything
you need to know. Paddle strokes, river
maneuvers, rolling, reading water, whitewater
and kayak safety. We have all the latest
equipment and would love to teach you. We
are internationally trained and internationally
experienced instructors with European and
Nepalese certifications.
Come to Nepal and experience
the excitement of white water kayaking.
On the basic four-day course(longer courses
are also popular and can be easily arranged)
our instructors start you off with basic
skills in calm water and build from there.
The course progresses at your own pace,
giving you a solid grounding in safe kayaking
principles. By the end of the four days
you will be able to read the water, maneuver
your kayak through the rapids and have fun
on any river.
Upon completion of your
course, you are welcome to join us on a
longer trip with raft support. |

| Trips
for Experienced Kayakers |
|
We run trips for experienced kayakers on all
the permitted rivers of Nepal. Our trips range
in length and difficulty, so we can help select
a river to match your level. If you prefer,
you can accompany one of our rafting trips
or make you way on your own river journey.
You can travel also, with one of our kayak
guides or as part of a group. |
| Safety |
| Mountain River
Rafting takes the safety and security of all
its clients very seriously. It is our primary
concern and reflected in every aspect of your
time with us. |
- All our guides are licensed, trained
in CPR, first aid and advanced river rescue
techniques.
- All our equipment is world class,
up to date and carefully maintained.
- We ensure that the kayaks in use
are suitable for the client and meet their
needs.
- We prepare all food with the utmost
attention to hygiene.

| What
We Provide |
| Before
your river journey you will be invited to
an orientation meeting to discuss the trip.
At this meeting there will be opportunities
for you to ask any questions that you may
have, meet your kayaking teacher (if you
are attending the course) and discuss any
personal requirements, such as a specialist
diet or medical conditions that could affect
your trip.
We have our own private transportation
to take you to and from the river. When
our own coach is not available then we provide
a privately booked alternative.
We provide plentiful, healthy and hygienically
prepared food and drinks.
Along with our kayaks, we provide all necessary
and related kayaking equipment and body
wears, dry bags, camera barrels, all neccessary
safety and medical supplies.
Tents and sleeping mats are also provided.
Sleeping bags can be supplied upon request.
All our equipment is of the highest quality,
clean and well maintained.
On all of our trips there will be a supply
raft that will transport all the gear that
is needed for the duration of the river
journey.
