Nepal is not only a Himalayan country with world’s highest mountains. It is also a rafter’s paradise – no other country has such a choice of multi-day trips, away from roads, in such magnificent mountain surroundings, with challenging rivers, a semi tropical climate, impressive geography, exotic cultures, wildlife and friendly welcoming people.
But it’s not just the rivers – as anyone who has been there will tell you, Nepal is a magnificent holiday in its own right – a fairy tale land of temples, mountains, dramatic festivals, exotic culture, colorful people, medieval villages, superb craft shopping, great food and sights – the bonus is some of the World’s best rivers.
Rafting in Nepal is usually a ‘wilderness’ experience in that most rivers don’t have highways alongside them – but it’s a soft, tamed, wilderness with white beaches for camping, clean blue rivers, friendly locals and few ‘nastiest – someone described it as ‘blissful escapism’.
