The Fun and Adventurous Trishuli River Rafting

• Travel Blog

White water rafting is a recreational outdoor rafting where one can navigate downstream on river rapids using an inflated raft. The name ‘white water rafting’ comes from the rapid flow of water in rivers that makes the water appear white. Rafting is an extremely popular recreational activity practiced in most countries around the world. Nepal can be truly considered an adventurer’s paradise because it has every possible activity that can make your adrenaline level rise-up.

Nepal, being the second richest country in term of water resources, has many more opportunities for rafting than other countries. The level of rafting differs in every river. Level of rafting defines the difficulties and the rage of the river. Adventure lovers who have previous rafting experience and can handle a raft properly can select higher grades of rafting. Higher the grade, higher the risk and adrenaline-rush in your body.

Grades of Rafting

Grade 1 River has a slower moving current with little or no obstacles.

Grade 2 & 3 Rivers generally are fast-moving with some obstacles and smaller to medium size rapids.

The Grade 4 Rivers have long, continuous sections of white water and large waves which requires strong paddling and good teamwork in the boat.

Grade 5 Rivers have powerful prolonged sections of rapids and big holes, which requires very strong paddling and preferably some previous rafting experience.
