Thrilling
White water adventures,Rafting / Kayaking :
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.

plus guide without gear. Avon is one of the best raft in the world and
are very tough and rugged so it's rare for them to be damaged or punctured.
Even if the latter happens, this is usually not serious as they have several
compartments to keep them afloat.
