This 6-hour Trishuli River Rafting combines a guided day out with licensed leaders and a clear safety briefing before you start. You'll have time for the main activity, a simple lunch or snack stop, and the drive back to the city.
A Trishuli day from Kathmandu drives to a put-in such as Charaudi or Fishling for grade II to III rapids. You get a safety brief, helmet, and life jacket, then paddle splashy waves with a safety kayaker on the water. Guides coach first-timers through paddle calls so the waves stay playful.
Lunch on the bank and a drive back through the gorge close the day. Monsoon water runs higher; drier months suit a first river day. You can splash in a safe eddy when the crew finds one, then dry off on the bank before the gorge drive.
Trishuli put-ins are reached by road from Kathmandu or Pokhara when transfers are part of the day. Crew fit helmets and life jackets before you enter the raft.
Monsoon months bring higher water and stronger rapids; drier seasons suit first-time paddlers on the classic day section. Lunch on the bank breaks up the river time before the gorge drive home.
You should be comfortable getting splashed and following paddle commands in the raft. Swimwear or quick-dry layers work better than cotton.
Non-swimmers can join with a life jacket but should tell the guide so seating can be planned near the crew. Quick-dry layers and a drybag for the bus ride home keep the afternoon comfortable.
You'll meet licensed river guides who hold Whitewater River Guiding, Swift Water Rescue, and Wilderness First Aid tickets, with safety kayakers on the water beside the raft. Our Kathmandu office confirms river permits and the Charaudi put-in so you are not chasing paperwork on the morning you leave. Helmets, life jackets, paddles, and splash kit are fitted before anyone steps off the bank.
The briefing covers paddle commands and swim procedure before you enter Ladies Delight and Upset. Class II to III water suits first-timers, and your guide seats non-swimmers where they can be reached quickly. After about three hours on the river we take out near Mugling, dry off, and sit down to lunch on the bank before you continue to Kathmandu, Pokhara, or Chitwan.
