An Exciting Two-Day Adventure

The combination of Trishuli rafting and Jalbire canyoning was perfect for a short adventure from Kathmandu. The rafting was exciting without feeling overwhelming, and the canyoning the next day was a completely different experience. The guides were friendly, professional, and very attentive to safety throughout the trip.

Great Organization from Start to Finish

Everything was well organized, from the Kathmandu transportation to the river activities and overnight stay. The rafting team explained the safety procedures clearly before we entered the river. Jalbire canyoning was fantastic, especially the waterfalls and natural pools. A very enjoyable and well-managed adventure.
