FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

How does the 3-day trip differ from the 1 or 2 day options?

The 3-day option goes beyond the quick thrill of shorter trips. You get to paddle deeper into the Trishuli River’s winding canyons, covering up to 60 km of river, with two overnights in scenic riverside locations. It’s a richer, slower-paced experience—more rapids, more scenery, more bonding with your group, and time to truly unwind between the whitewater action.

What rapids can I expect, and how am I prepared?

You’ll encounter a steady mix of Class II to III+ rapids—fun and splashy but safe for most skill levels. During high water season, a few rapids can push into Class IV territory, adding to the thrill. Don’t worry—before you hit the water, our expert guides will walk you through everything, from paddle strokes to safety drills, so even first-timers feel ready to take them on.

Where will I sleep, and what’s included?

You’ll spend two nights at comfortable riverside resorts, complete with hot showers and tasty local meals. It’s the perfect way to relax after a day on the river. The package includes all meals, transportation, professional rafting guides, safety kayakers, permits, gear (rafts, helmets, life jackets), and a first-aid kit—so you just need to show up ready for adventure.

What should I pack for this adventure?

Bring lightweight, quick-drying clothes for rafting (synthetic shirts and shorts), secure sandals or river shoes, a towel, and warm layers for the evenings. Sun protection is key—pack polarized sunglasses with a strap, a wide-brimmed hat, and strong sunscreen. A headlamp, dry bag, refillable water bottle, and any personal medications are also must-haves.

When is the best time to raft the Trishuli River?

The best times are March to May and September to November, when the weather is warm, the skies are clear, and the river levels are ideal for rafting. Trips also run from August through May, but monsoon season (June–July) brings high flows that can be too intense, while winter months can be chilly—less ideal for overnight stays and water activities.
