The Trisuli, draining the snow melt
of Ganesh and Langtang Himal, gains its name from
lord Shiva's three pointed stuff Trisuli. Legend has
it that the god drove the tips into the ground creating
three small lakes, which form the headwaters of the
river
Rafting on the Trishuli River is an
excellent opportunity to observe the diversity of
demography, landscapes, and cultural heritage and
the flora and fauna. You can experience the thrills
of white-water on the course of three days trip. This
can be degraded as per your interest and time.
The River is easily accessible
from Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan National Park.
The easy access is provided by the Prithivi Hwy, which
is the only highway connecting Kathmandu and India,
and it runs right alongside the river. During most
flows the rapids are straight forward and spread well
apart. The river Scenic valleys and impressive gorges,
exhilarating rapids and easier sections as well as
the right amount of time all make it the perfect trip
for first-time or experienced rafters. There are 10
major rapids on the Trisuli starting with "Beginners
Luck" and ending with the rocky and technical
"Pin Ball" under the bridge of Mugling.
The emphasis is on fun and safety. For those short
in time for holidays it is a great trip of exciting
paddling and plunging through exhilarating rapids.
During the monsoon, Trishuli River promises a more
challenging ride, with powerful rapids and whirlpools.
When the river is running high and wild, there are
hardly any rafters around, and rafting on the Trishuli
River is without a doubt the most exciting thing you
can do in Nepal during monsoon and quite possibly
one of the best two days big water rafting trips offered
anywhere. There are numerous exciting rapids as the
name of Snail's nose, Teendevi, Malekhu rapid, Monkey
rapid, Upset, Surprise, Monsoon, Cotton Pony, Ladies
Delight, S-Bend, Highway, Monsoon and Pinball Rapid.
This makes your fun more challenging during high flows
with a good mixture of continuous rapids and pleasant
calm water.
