Because of Nepal steep terrain, the rivers here churn with extra ferocity as they charge down mountain gorges to offer some of the best white waters in the world. The rapids are graded on a scale of one to six depending on how wild they are.

The Trisuli River (grade 3+) : is one of the most popular, if not the favorite, of Nepal raftable rivers. Many choose to incorporate a ride down the Trisuli with either a trip to Pokhara or to the Royal Chitwan National Park.

The Kali Gandaki (grade 4-4+) : winds through remote canyons and deep gorges for five days of intense rapids among gorgeous wilderness and mountain views.

The Bhote Koshi (grade 4-5) : Twenty-six km of continuous white water batters rafters as they shoot through a veritable maze of canyons and boulders.

The Karnali River (grade 4-5) : Rafters fly through spectacular landscapes and narrow gorges and down some of the most challenging rapids in the world. The Sun Koshi (grade 4-5) : run is 270 km and requires 8-10 days to complete with road access only at the beginning and end.
