What is Whitewater Rafting?
|
| White water rafting is negotiating
river rapids and obstacles in an inflatable
rubber boat with a team of up to eight people
and a river guide. Rivers are graded from
easy to near-impossible according to their
size, the intensity of their rapids and the
difficulties that may affect rescue attempts.

Whitewater Rafting in Nepal
|
| Whatever
your desire for adventure, it is easy to
find the perfect river in Nepal. With a
wide range of difficulties from a gentle
2-day float down the Seti river, to an exhilarating
10-day adventure through the rapids of the
remote Tamur and Karnali, there is an experience
for everyone waiting in Nepal's famous white
waters. Nepal's rivers change with the seasons.
Each year, after the heavy monsoon rains
the waters swell, changing the run of the
rivers and the nature of the rapids. New
rapids are created; others become more difficult
and some simply impossible to navigate.
It is important to remember that some of
the white water action you are about to
read about could have changed by the time
you come to run the river. At MRR we are
constantly monitoring changes in the rivers
and their rapids, so that we can always
ensure the safety of our clients and plan
expeditions with precision... |

| Short Rafting Trips |
Short
trips take between one and four days and
do not involve any trekking. Some of these
trips involve less challenging white water
and are ideally suited to first time rafters
and families. Others attract experien-ced
thrill-seekers with their world-class rapids.

Long Rafting Trips
|
Our longer
trips take you into some of Nepal’s
most remote areas. Often they begin with
short treks to the river. On these treks
we employ local porters to carry our gear
and supplies, so all you need to
carry are your own personal belongings.
Many of our long trips
finish close to some of our less easily
accessible National Parks and Wildlife Reserves
(the Karnali trip actually finishes in the
Bardia National Park). So you may wish to
combine your rafting trip with a safari
adventure and go in search of our native
tigers, bears and rhinos!
