Marsyangdi River Whitewater Challenge

The Marsyangdi River Whitewater Challenge is a 4-day, 3-night rafting expedition from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. The journey combines exciting whitewater rafting, scenic landscapes, riverside camping, and an immersive outdoor adventure.

The rafting expedition begins at Paundi, after traveling from Kathmandu. From there, the rafting continues through selected sections of the Marsyangdi River according to the confirmed itinerary and current river conditions.

The general route is Kathmandu → Paundi → Turture → Bimalnagar → Lower Marsyangdi River sections → Take-Out Point → Kathmandu. Exact rafting sections and take-out locations may be adjusted based on river conditions, weather, and professional safety assessments.

This is a multi-day whitewater rafting expedition involving active paddling and changing river conditions. Previous rafting experience may be helpful, but suitability depends on the river level, season, individual fitness, and the professional assessment of the rafting team.

Safety is a central part of the expedition. Participants receive a safety briefing and paddling orientation before rafting and are provided with essential equipment such as helmets and life jackets. Professional rafting guides and safety support are used throughout the journey, with procedures adapted to current river conditions.

Accommodation is primarily riverside camping in tents. The rafting team arranges the necessary camping equipment, allowing participants to enjoy evenings beside the Marsyangdi River and experience a genuine multi-day river expedition.

Meals are prepared during the river expedition according to the confirmed trip itinerary. Typically, meals are arranged around the daily rafting schedule, with food prepared at the riverside campsite by the expedition support team.
