Nepal is the perfect country for White Water Aactivities. The country rises from South to North from the plains of Terai (Appr. 80 Mtrs.) to Mt. Everest ( 8,848 Mtrs. ) within a 180 KMS arial span. So all the rivers very fastly flow from North to South creating a lot of RAPIDS . We have several River Systems like: Koshi, Gandaki and Karnali Rivers are the main River Systems in Nepal. The tributaries of these rivers are wonderful natural gift for White water experience.
