White Water Rafting : best way to experience Nepal |
|
|
Nepal
has 08 of the 14 Highest Mountains above 8000m. and includes Mount
Everest (the highest one) and Mount Kanchanjunga (the third highest).
These snowcapped mountains including numerous other mountain peaks
crowns this country. The mighty mountains and the glaciers of the
Himalayas are the source of its fast flowing rivers. These rivers
starting from the glacial water of the Himalayas flow down due south
meandering through beautiful landscape, deep gorges, valleys and flat
land of south Nepal to ultimately drain in the Bay of Bengal after
joining Holy River Ganges in the Indian plains. These rivers offer
rafting and canoeing trips to both adventurous as well as beginners.
A rafting trip in one of the rivers here in Nepal gives you a chance to
get the real fragrance of Nepal while you raft through beautiful
countryside enjoying the sight of traditional Nepali houses perched on
the hillsides and slopes, terraced paddy fields where the people sow
their dreams with hopes of growing better future for themselves and for
their offspring. For the beginners a rafting trip in River Trishuli for
one or two days is perfect and for the white water adventure lovers, a
longer trip in River Karnali in the Western Part of Nepal or River
Sunkoshi in the Eastern Part of Nepal is perfect. Rafting trip for
longer duration can be combined with trek for couple of days and for
such a trip River Karnali and River Arun are perfect. The other rivers
where rafting trip can be organized are River Kali Gandaki, River Seti,
River Bhote Koshi, River Tamur.
Some rafting trips are easily available but others are to be organized
well in advance. Whether you are looking for a trip to experience just
the charm of rafting or an adventurous river trip, Nepal is the perfect
destination. |
