Truly, Marshyangdi River Rafting is a recently opened, next generation rafting in Nepal which takes you through the hair rising experience of passing through steep downfalls, several rapids, turbulences and sharp bends that open up to fresh vistas of some of the world’s highest mountains. Setting on the adrenaline adventure in Marshyangdi River allows finest views of Manaslu and Annapurna Mountains.

Marshyangdi River, the tributary of Trishuli initiates from a confluence of two mountain rivers (Kharsang Khola and Jharsang Khola), continues to the Trishuli River at Mugling.  Marshyangdi River Rafting package starts with a scenic drive to Besi Sahar before moving further to Khudi.

    A picturesque drive of about 8hrs takes us to Besi Sahar. Alittle further from Besi Sahar is Khudi where we will set our camp for the night under the marvelous glow of the stars. Overnight in tented camp.

      Two hours of trekking will lead us to Ngadi which marks the embarking point for Marshyangdi River Rafting. Floating back to Khudi offers spectacular views of Manaslu Mountain, while we face rapids that go by the names of Instant Karma, Twinkle, Adrenaline and Mama’s Big Butt near Bhulbhule. Overnight in tented camp.

        Today, we will float all the way down to Besi Sahar, sailing on the crystal blue water with views of trees clinging to the canyon walls, and mountains suspended high above the forested ridge. Overnight in Besi Sahar.

          An early morning raft ride of about 3hours leads us to the recently built dam at Phaliya Sanghu where whole river is squeezed between vertical walls that rise 200ft to a suspension bridge. Leaving Phaliya Sanghu behind, we sail forward to Bhote Wodar where we call it a day, taking in the scenic mountain views. Overnight in tented camp.
