Nepal is the second richest country in water resources
 in the world. The rivers rising in the Himalayan Glaciers and frozen lakes meander through the mountains and hills finding their own way southward. Many eventually join the Holy River Ganges in the northern plains of India. As these rivers rush down rocky slopes, cross valleys, forests and fields, they offer the best possible white water rafting trips for adventure lovers. Thrilling trips down these Himalayan rivers bring you the joy of exploring hidden wonders and the mysteries of this exotic land, away from roads and trails. There are many sights - the scenic beauty of the river banks, typical cottages of indigenous people perched on the hillsides and a view of the hard working people of the mountains planting their fields with hope of enjoying a good harvest.

Both the starting point and the ending point are within short driving distance from Kathmandu, off the Friendship Highway that leads to the Tibetan Border.

KALIGANDAKI
The word Kali (black lady) is associated with one of the fiercest forms of Shakti (the combined form of Lord Shiva and his consort, Parvati). One of the holiest rivers for both Hindus and Buddhists originates from Damodar Kund (Lake) situated in a basin in the Damodar Himal and flows southward through a rain shadow valley on the eastern edge of the Annapurna Range. As she flows down she carries with her
fossilized remains of ancient sea creatures. These fossils beds prove beyond a doubt that the whole land now covered by the mighty Himalayas was, once upon a time, the bed of a shallow sea between the Asian and Indian landmasses. This river offers rafting trips of three days duration. Upstream from our put-in site, the Kali Ghandaki passes through the deepest gorge in the world between the 8000m+ summits of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I.
TRISHULI
The name Trishuli literally means "trident." The Trident is the sacred weapon carried by Lord Shiva. This river was one of the first rivers opened to white-water adventure in Nepal. It offers trips suitable for both the beginners and experienced. For beginners, a one-day trip offers an enjoyable treat. For white-water adventure lovers, two and three days trips are available.
