Good

Fernando_A, Dec 2024

as a seasoned traveler, i enjoyed how rustic and real it all felt. the guides were really nice and we had amazing weather. good lunch too. it’s worth noting that the drive is quite long and i was put on a local bus which is 3.5 hr there and another 3.5 back if there’s no traffic. so just keep in mind it’ll be a long day, no frills.

thank you so much

Fun day rafting

Jacqueline_H, Oct 2022

Had a good time white water rafting. The lunch afterwards was also delicious. The Staff was also friendly and helpful, and made the day enjoyable. The only issue is that I booked online and when I asked them where I could be picked up, they didn’t answer online. I had to phone the tourism operator to figure out how I would arrive and get back to Kathmandu. They did help arrange it, but if I didn’t have a local Nepali friend, it would have been very hard to figure out which bus stop to go to, which bus to get on, and when to get off.

Hanging with the rafters in Nepal

Lachlan_F, Jul 2022

Rafting on the Trisuli River on June 3 was a great day out and very well priced, for myself and a Spanish guy. Pickup in Thamel was difficult since the hotel didn't seem to exist and after searching around, then phone calls with a helpful hotel operator, the organiser and I walked to a bus station, got a brief motorbike ride, onto a public bus and then onto what turned out to be the public bus to Pokhara. That's a rough 3.5 hour ride or scenic adventure if you like, with a snack/drink/meal stop each way. I was let off for the enjoyable raft ride, under 2 hours, with grade 3 rapids, and a nice Nepalese lunch to finish. The guides gave a good safety and paddling talk, were enthusiastic and helpful, and I had a cool swim in the river at the end. I don't know if it came from the trip but I did need some antifungal cream for spots on the chest the next week. Overall a worthwhile trip.

Unexpectable rafting

Petr_S, Apr 2019

We expect easy river but it was sooo fun. Good price, good rafting, good lunch and friendly staff. It´s good choice for everyone who has free day in kathmandu after trekking and shoping isnot right option.

White Water rafting was epic. The journey took forever, as we kept stopping to pick more people up, but it was just me and my friend then a big group of Nepalese students so I don't think they normally stop as much as they did on our trip. The guide had a go pro which we were told we would have the photos and videos emailed to us but still havn't and it was over a week ago now.

Nathan B, May 2017

The rafting was a brilliant experience that I would recommend to anybody in Kathmandu with a day to kill. I paid 35 which felt like a very good deal. BUT, the trip is advertised as a 3 hour bus journey from Kathmandu, when in fact it is 6 hours each way. If you have a full day to kill then this isn't too much of a problem although the roads make the journey pretty uncomfortable.

Quiero repetir!

El lugar de partida es increíblemente exótico entre vegetación, hamacas, comida excelente y cervezas y acceso directo al río. El equipo es gente joven, con energía y muy buen rollo. El rafting… una auténtica pasada. Nos sentimos seguros y fue divertidísimo. El punto de recogida no estaba muy claro en Maps: es en la estación de autobuses. Pero nos esperaron :)
