Rafting in NepalRising from the glaciers of the world's highest mountains and from the high plateau of Tibet, the rivers of Nepal plunge through the gorges of the Himalayas and tropical forests and eventually meandering through the plains of the terai into India.

Rafting the rivers of Nepal is one of the best ways to abandon the cities. President Travels and Tours offers scenic River Rides and White Water trips on Nepal's Trisuli, Bagmati, Seti, Kali Gandaki and Sun Kosi rivers. Negotiating the swift, crystal clear glacial waters in 16 feet inflatable rafts, expertly handled by professional watermen is an exciting and memorable experience Crocodiles, Rhinos, Deer and numerous species of colorful water fowl as you ride down the Narayani. The enthusiastic angler can fish for Trout without even leaving the boat. Just in case one does, a high buoyancy life jacket and helmet are provided and must be worn at all times.

Cool shaded canyons, dramatic gorges, restless rock strewn torrents and picturesque villages all offer an unforgettable experience of film much to the delight of an amateur photographer and the fascinated observer of the country's unique eco-system.
