| Location, Transportation and
Timetable
The put-in point for the Trisuli River
is located just 3 to 3.5 hours west
of Kathmandu, making it an excellent
choice for short trips, or for clients
en route to Pokhara or Chitwan National
Park.
The Trisuli can be rafted for anything
between 1 and 3 days, 20 - 60 km.
Most people opt for the classic two
day trip. The return journey to Kathmandu
is 5 hours, to Pokhara approximately
4 hours and to Chitwan approximately
1 hours.
Mountain River Rafting arranges private
tourist bus transportation to the
put-in point, usually Charaudi. (This
may differ for longer/shorter trips.)
Transportation from the take-out point
at the end of the trip is also arranged,
to whichever destination is next for
the client. |
| Description
The scenery on the river includes
small gorges and a glimpse of the
cable car leading to the famous Manakamana
temple.
For the majority of the year the rapids
encountered on the Trisuli are straightforward,
easily negotiated and well spaced
out.
The Trishuli is an excellent river
for those looking for a short trip,
without the challenge of huge rapids,
but with beautiful scenery and a relatively
peaceful environment. During the monsoon
months the intensity of the rapids
increases and attracts a radically
different set of rafters.
