Nepal a river trip is one of the best ways to explore a typical
cross- section of the country's natural as well as ethno- cultural
heritage. The river is regarded as sacrosanct and is used for religious
rituals such as cremation under both Hinduism and Buddhism. The
adjoining slopes of the riverbed often harbor dense vegetation and
interesting wildlife. Several varieties of marine lives also abound

Rapids
encountered are between Grades 3-5 From the "put in" at Dolalghat
to the "Take out" at chatra, near Dharan 270 km away in eastern
Nepal, the river descends 500 meters. Throughout the Journey you
are so remote as it takes a two- day walk out from the river to
the nearest road. Only small isolated villages are encountered en
route, so it is necessary to take all food and equipment to be fully
self sufficient- a true expedition.To break up the return journey
from Chatra we have an overnight stay at our exclusive permanent
tented camp located just outside the Royal quiet and comfortable
with hot showers too! The final day brings you back to Kathmandu.

The
Trisuli draining the snowmelt of the Ganesh and Langtang Himal
,gains its name from Lord Shiva's three pointed staff or trisuli.
Legend has it that the god drove the tips into the ground creating
three smells lakes that form the head water of the river.There
are 10 major rapids on the Trisuli starting with " Beginners
Luck" and ending with the rocky and technical " pin ball" under
the bridge of mugling. |

The emphasis is on fun and safety. Three or four days of exciting
paddling and plunging through exhilarating rapids. For those
