Please get in touch with us here at Pokhara Info if you have any questions about rafting in Nepal. We will provide you with the best options and packages. 

About Bheri

Bheri River, rising high in the Himalayas in Nepal, is one of the most popular rivers for fishing, as well as one of the easiest rivers to go water-adventuring on. Being situated in the far western part of the country, this river holds many mysteries that should be explored. As part of the Lower Karnali River system in the far western region of Nepal, the Bheri River flows into the Dolpo region through Surkhet Valley.  

In spite of its deep ripples, mellow rapids, and fast flow, it is an excellent river for rafting. It boasts a breathtaking landscape, magnificent blue waters, and beautiful villages. There are many other benefits of rafting in Bheri, including excellent fishing, unspoiled villages, ever-smiling locals, blue water, white sand beaches, and pleasant campsites.

Tour Overview

The breathtaking view of hills and mountains, along with the abundance of flora and fauna, adds to the beauty of the rippling waters of the Bheri River. The river rafting journey starts in Sami Ghats and ends in Jammu. As we complete our rafting journey, we can explore the Royal Bardiya National Park to get a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience. We can explore and trek through the park to enjoy the natural beauty.

This trip can take between 5-7 days, depending on what you are looking for, and it will prove to be a major river journey that has to be considered not only one of the best in the world but also one of the best in the world. Our journey takes us through some of Nepal’s remotest areas, giving you a chance to experience the wilderness.

You will marvel at the most beautiful historical and cultural sites throughout the valley. You will be amazed at the diversity of cultures and traditions prevalent there. Take in as much culture as you can on this day.

We will leave Kathmandu early in the morning for Nepalgunj. After arriving at Nepalgunj, we will take a short drive to Samjhi Ghat. Once there, we will stay in a deluxe resort.

Starting from Samjhi Ghat, the rafting journey begins. After about 20 minutes of rafting, we will come across our first rapid, which is one of many that we will encounter. The Bheri River is relatively unexplored because of its remoteness.  

During the first rafting section, you will experience exciting rapids. Once we finish lunch at the bank of Bheri, you will get to explore more, so take your time lazing around on the sandy beaches. As we raft, we will come across more and more of these beauties until we reach Kumalgaun, where we will spend the night.

 

Our trip will again begin by rafting to Jammu, which is perhaps the most exciting part of our entire journey; filled with narrow gorges and sheer cliffs and interspersed with open valleys where small villages are located. In this area, there are lots of beautiful beaches where we can camp for the night.

After rafting through the river, we reach the confluence of the Bheri and Karnali rivers after an hour of floating. This park is one of the most beautiful and diverse in Nepal. Upon entering the national park from the gorge section, we will enjoy the lush greenery and the variety of flora and fauna found in the beautiful Terai region.

Our journey will begin with Nepalgunj, where it all began, and we will explore its local culture before returning to Kathmandu, where we will relax. If you want, you can spend a few days in downtown Kathmandu looking around, shopping for souvenirs, and chilling in the Durbar Marg area. You will take pleasure in browsing cafe shops and shopping around the downtown area until you leave Kathmandu.

According to rafting experts, Bheri is easier to raft because its rapids aren’t as violent as those on other rafting rivers. Taking a rafting trip in Bheri will allow you to explore some of the remote areas of the region, have an opportunity to experience some unspoiled cultures, and enjoy beautiful views of Nepal’s natural scenery. It’s often possible to observe wild animals in their natural habitats while spending warm and cozy nights on the white sand beaches along the river. This rafting adventure is a good way to escape the polluted city for a week.

Nepal is considered a paradise for river runners, with rivers such as Seti, Trishuli, Tamur, Koshi, and more. There are several grades of whitewater rafting trips available to suit any interest or preference.

Among the best places to white water raft, Nepal has some of the world’s wildest and most spectacular rivers. Beautiful mountains, exhilarating white water rapids, warm water, and fascinating cultural experiences are what make Nepal one of the world’s top rafting destinations.

Please get in touch with us here at Pokhara Info if you have any questions about rafting in Nepal. We will provide you with the best options and packages. 

About the River and Trip

With Pokhara Info, you can experience a wild rafting trip in Nepal’s faster rivers. This is probably the best way to enjoy both mountain rafting and trekking in Nepal, with spectacular scenery, incredible white water, and an unspoiled valley. 

There are five tributaries of the Tamur that drain the snow of the third highest peak in the world, Kanchenjunga. The Tamur is the sixth largest river in Nepal and has an air of power, but also of being constrained by its valley sides. In 1990, the Tamur was the first commercial run on the river, and there have been relatively few descents since then. It offers exceptional views of the Himalayan range, including Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Everest, and Mt. Makalu. This trip takes you on a 120 km descent through some of the most exciting rapids in the world, with most of them in the 3 to 4 range and some in the five range, making it one of the world’s best white water expeditions.

Overview

Starting in Kathmandu, we take an internal flight or drive to Biratnagar, located in the far southeast of the country. After that, we take a private bus to Basantapur, located in the Tehrathum region, where we camp overnight. On the day following the arrival at the base camp, we start our awe-inspiring trek to Dobhan through the Taplejung region in eastern Nepal. Our journey starts in Dobhan, from where we enjoy a relaxing day on a remote river beach or an optional trek to explore local villages. The Tamur is best explored between October and November and from February to May. In addition, you have the option of returning by private bus or internal flight to Kathmandu.

Tamur River Rafting Itinerary:

The trip is long and includes amazing trekking trails, with rafting as the primary priority.

We will start our trek into the heart of eastern Nepal by trekking for four days via Gupha Pokhari, stopping for lunch and rest while enjoying the views and culture of the local villages on the way. Trek from Milke Danda via Gupha Pokhari to Dovan to begin our rafting trip, where we are surrounded by stunning mountain views, including Mount Everest, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga. Porters will carry most of our gear, including kayaks and rafts. Camp is made.

We start our white water adventure at Dovan. Your expedition leader and raft guide will give you a detailed safety briefing, and then for the remainder of the day (outside of the lunch break), you're in a turquoise blue class 4 white water paradise.

 

There is no better day to experience Himalayan water than this one. It is large and continuous. We enter the Jungle Corridor, which is a narrow, jungle-clad canyon. Team building techniques are put into action, and when the guide calls out, "all forward," he really means it. Enjoy the rides all day and camp at the amazing God-house.

 

We will see more of the same, including the notorious GOD'S house rapid, then spend some relaxing time at the Seti Dovan.

 

There's still more action ahead! Don't give up! You are experiencing the best of western adventures on yet another day of a great adventure with breathtaking scenery and camping in Jamuna Village.

 

As this is a very remote area for white water rafting, the starting and ending points are not mentioned since we will be passing through villages and observing wildlife that is unique to this area the whole day.

 

As it is a remote area for white water rafting, no specific places are mentioned. We have managed the day as a rest day to enjoy the beach life or to trek to the local villages, where you will always find people who are so welcoming and enthusiastic.

 

From Rai Ghat to Bander Ghat, rafting takes approximately 6 hours. However, the experience does not end there. After Sap Su Khola, there is a rapid with the greatest drop, and the rapid is filled with 'holes,' 'eddies,' and churning 'stopper waves' that demand teamwork and hard paddling.

 

Our rafting excursion for the day runs from Bander Ghat to Bonjur Ghat for approximately 6 hours. We take to the rapids again, active all morning and eager for the lunch break. After emerging from the Mardheku gorge, the river is less agitated after being enclosed between steep cliffs and gorges.

The 16th day of the tour takes us from Bonjur Ghat to Barachhatra. The rafting is approximately six hours in water mixed with fun-filled rapids along with calm water floating.

 

The final day of the rafting takes us to Chatara, where we conclude the tiring yet thrilling couple of weeks. Afterward, we travel to Biratnagar in order to fly back to Kathmandu.

The River fulfills the significant demand for water in many parts of eastern Nepal through its tributaries.

Sunkoshi River rafting is one of the most benign activities in the world. With each increase in distance, the rafting becomes bigger and bigger. Our rafts will take us further down the Sunkoshi River, which becomes bigger after it confluences with numerous tributaries.

We may enjoy the stunning scenery while overcoming the hardships of the rushing River as we raft from Ratemate to Harkapur. At Harkapur, we will spend the night in a tent camp after rafting for perhaps 4 to 5 hours.

Our two-day rafting trip begins from Harkapur. We will raft for four hours following the flow of the River and then sleep at the tented camp the next night. We will enjoy the evening at the tent camp along with a bonfire if you wish for a relaxing evening.

Following the previous day, we will continue our rafting through the fast-flowing River for another four hours until we reach Rasuaghat. We will spend our night in a tented camp.

We will raft from Rasuaghat, following the flow of the River and challenging any obstacles that we encounter. Rafting is thrilling, challenging, and river-based. There will be about four rapids on our rafting expedition. On the sand along the Sunkoshi River, we'll set up camp in a tent for the night.

After breakfast, we will resume our rafting trip on the second morning. During the rafting trip, we will challenge the river flow to reach the destination of today. We will raft through the big dipper and will rest at the tented camp at the sand beach of the River for the night.

The rafting trip to the Chatara will take only about two hours today, and you will spend the rest of the time visiting and exploring the region. We will spend our night sleeping at the Chatara after spending the day rafting and exploring the surrounding areas during the leisure time we have.

About Tamakoshi

In the vicinity of 7181m, the glaciers of Mount Gaurishankar feed the Tse Rolpa Lake, from which the Tamakoshi River originates. The Tama Koshi River is a perennial river fed by snow and glaciers and is a tributary to the Sun Koshi River, which is, in turn, a tributary to the Koshi River. As far as thrilling adventure goes, Tamakoshi River Rafting takes the biscuit. The Tamakoshi rafting is an extremely difficult rafting trip more suitable for experienced rafters.

Kayaking and rafting in the Tamakoshi start from a bridge along the road to Jiri called Busti. The upper reaches of the Tamakoshi River are in the Tibetan Himalayas. There are various major tributaries of the river, such as Astonishing Rolwaling, Jugu, Gumu, Singati, Tineku, Charang, Gopi, Andheri, Khare, Jhyaku, Dholti, Maren, Milti, Khimti. The Tamakoshi River (Copper River) holds a volume almost double that of Bhote Koshi, which makes it an extremely challenging river to raft on. It is generally considered rafting only for those who have a good understanding of the technicalities of sturdy water.

This river is considered dangerous as it is far from the main trekking routes and away from the main trekking routes, but it is still a challenging whitewater challenge. Rafting and kayaking are both popular activities on this river. There might only be a few numbers of people who enjoy rafting on this river. This is a high-risk rafting spot and is not recommended for beginners. However, if you are an experienced rafter, you can test your skills here.

Tamakhosi Rafting Itinerary

Kathmandu and Dolakha Districts are two districts that are separated by 70km of aerial distance and 148.8 km of highway distance. You can easily take taxis or take public transport to get to Dolakha while enjoying the scenic beauty of the route.

You will be able to see perfect mountain panoramas from the Rolwaling and Khumbu areas when we reach the put-in. This is an incredible drive through villages, and if the weather cooperates, you will be able to see Ganesh Himal, Langtang, etc. The rafting equipment will be ready for you in a matter of minutes. Ask questions and enlarge your horizons. And let the thrill begin.

The second day starts with a quick breakfast and packs up (about 9-10 a.m.), and you run your grade 4-5 rapid again. You will have a second chance to show how well you can handle that class 4-5 rapid. You get to enjoy most of the rafting of the trip on the second day. Lunch is served on the river, and we continue down the river until the take-out point at Dolalghat Bazaar, around 3 to 4 p.m.

After the exciting trip, we can either take the bus or fly back to Kathmandu. You can also choose from many other adventures in Nepal, like bungee jumping, peak climbing, and much more.

Rafting Tour in Trishuli and Kali Gandaki

A rafting trip through Nepal’s numerous world-class rivers is a fun and exciting adventure. You can enjoy a day’s rafting or choose a trip that allows you to camp on the river and explore the surrounding culture and geography. Nepal is considered a paradise for river runners. Several grades of whitewater rafting trips are available to suit any interest or preference.

Among the best places to white water raft, Nepal has some of the world’s wildest and most spectacular rivers. Beautiful mountains, exhilarating white water rapids, warm water, and fascinating cultural experiences are what make Nepal one of the world’s top rafting destinations.

You can combine a Sun Koshi and Karnali rafting trip with a wildlife safari tour in nearby National Parks for those interested in a long day’s expedition. Please get in touch with us here at Pokhara Info if you have any questions about rafting in Nepal. We will provide you with the best options and packages.

Trishuli Rafting

Visitors to Nepal often want to go rafting because of the rivers that originate from the high mountains and flow with the great currents. These rivers are some of the best rafting rivers in the world. Located just three hours away from Kathmandu, the Trishuli River is one of Nepal’s most popular places to raft. Its scenic beauty and the best rafting experience make Trishuli rafting one of Nepal’s most popular rafting rivers.

It will be fun and equally thrilling to raft on the Trishuli River with the views of the gorgeous forest, gorgeous surroundings, wildlife, and the white water. The huge waves and the striking waters of the river will be an unforgettable experience for you and your friends. During the monsoon season, the water flow will be fast at the river, so the rafting experience at the river will vary from season to season. The flow of the water at the river will directly relate to the season and rainfall.

Overview of the Trishuli Rafting

On the Trishuli River overnight rafting trip, we will set up our camps at the banks of the river. Riding rafts on different rivers in Nepal will be quite a fun experience. We will raft the Trishuli River for several hours, and then we will travel back to Kathmandu on the main road to Kathmandu, or we can make our way towards Chitwan, viewing the picturesque surroundings. However, it is totally up to you whether you wish to travel back to Kathmandu or head on to enjoy the Kaligandaki rafting via Pokhara subsequently or even visit Chitwan, as mentioned earlier.

On the next day, we will struggle with the challenging water flow on the Trishuli River. After an hour of rafting, we will reach Mugling. Once we've had our fill of rafting, we will return to Kathmandu, depending on the package you choose, on the same trail for several hours. 

Kali Gandaki Rafting

Due to the fast-moving water and the magnificent scenery, rafting on the Kali Gandaki River is one of Nepal’s most exciting rafting experiences. In this context, rafting on the Kaligandaki River is also exciting from the point of view of sightseeing because we will be able to see the magnificent Mt. Dhaulagiri and Mt. Annapurna. You can reach this after a drive of about 3 hours from Pokhara.

As we trek along the beautiful river at Kaligandaki, we’ll be able to view the high mountains like Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Himalchuli, etc. As we trek to the Kali Gandaki River, we will pass through remote regions, changing the trek to an extended or short trek. In addition to passing through deep gorges, this beautiful river will also pass through glorious waterfalls, jungles, and the traditional and cultural villages and localities of Magar and Chhetri. Rafting on the Kaligandaki River is a bit risky, though. Rafters thus have to carry several things to ensure their safety, but Pokhara Info is always vigilant for their safety.

Overview of the Kali Gandaki Rating Tour

Rafting on the Kaligandaki River will be an exciting experience right from the beginning as we enter the fast-flowing waves of the river. There are several grades of rafting on the Kaligandaki River. A grade of III or IV is generally given to the rafting on the Kaligandaki River because there are lots of black stones on the river. We can spend several days exploring the Kali Gandaki River to learn more about the region.

All in all, Pokhara Info’s crew members will make rafting on the Kali Gandaki River an adventure as well as safe.

In the morning, we will have breakfast at the tented camp before beginning our rafting trip to the Modi Khola. While rafting on the fast-flowing river, we will enjoy the magnificent views of Annapurna Peak (8091m) and Himalchuli Peak (7893m). Having rafted all day on the river, we will retire to a tented camp at Purti Ghat for the night.

The final day of rafting at the Kaligandaki River will be from Purti Ghat. After breakfast and rafting the river for several hours, we will walk through the villages of the areas settled by different groups of people following their own culture and traditions before returning to Pokhara. We conclude the trip as we return back to Pokhara, where we will spend the night.
