White water rafting in the rivers of Nepal that melt down right form the majestic Himalayas is an unmatched experience of a lifetime. It usually involves Kayaks and boats that go against the rapids of ferocious rivers.
The Nepalese rivers for the purpose of rafting are graded on a scale of six where one represents a very easy and almost unchallenged and six means the toughest of its kind. Four may be modest and almost everyone could indulge in it without any prior experience but with some knowledge and courage for the sports in question. Five, however means we may need some prior experience.
While taking the raft tour in the Mountain Rivers of Nepal, also make it a point to stop by at places and mix up with the locals so you will also know a lot more about the lifestyles of Nepalese households of different places. It’s amazing to discover how lifestyles differ here in Nepal within short distances that you have traveled. The trip will not only give you the thrill of the adventure, but also gives you a chance to learn about human civilization.
During the guided rafting tour, all camping equipment and meals are provided including the tents for camping in the evening.
