Marshyangdi River |
 Locally, it is used to say that Marshyangdi is
the raging river in Nepal and describes one of
the best whitewater runs in the world. One of
the best class 4 kayaking rivers in the
world-continuous, exhilarating whitewater with
magnificent mountain backdrops. Recommended for
expert kaykers and rafters.
If it’s adventure you seek, you’ll find it on
this trip with one day of easy trekking and five
days of intense rafting. Only recently opened
for commercial rafting (many rapids have not
been named yet), the Marshyangdi is one of the
next generations of rivers in Nepal, steeper and
with a much more continuous stretch of rapids.
The scenery is magnificent with every bend of
the river opening up fresh vistas of some of the
world's highest mountains, but these are
behind-as someone said "great views but you need
rear view mirrors"
Duration : 04-05 days, Grade :
4-5 |
