| Location, Transportation and
Timetable
Nagdi, the put in point for the Marsyangdi
River is 6 hours west of Kathmandu
by bus followed by a 1 day trek to
the river side. Porters transport
all the rafting equipment and other
necessities for the trip. Transportation
from Pokhara can also be arranged.
The 65km of river action takes 4 days
. Bus transportation is provided from
the take-out point at Bimalnagar to
either Kathmandu (5 hours) or Pokhara
(2 hours). There is a orientation
meeting early in the evening before
the trip, providing you with an opportunity
to ask any further questions you may
have, to meet your fellow rafters
and also your guide. |
| Description
The views on the half day trek to
the put in point is an excellent preparation
for the wonderful scenery that this
trip offers. It is known as one of
the best white water journeys in the
world. The river rages through narrow
gorges and canyons and past stunning
Annapurna Mountains.
The challenging grade 4 to 5- rapids
begin on day one and are practically
continuous to the take-out point,
with steep, technical and thrilling
rides through Himalayan scenery.
This is an ideal choice for those
wanting an intense and extreme rafting
trip and is better suited to those
who have had previous rafting experience.
The half day trek adds to the uniqueness
of this journey. |
