HIGHLIGHTS
  • Experience the best combination trip – trekking & rafting in one!
  • Trek in the Himalayas with views of Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga and Makalu
  • Confront over a hundred rapids in 130 km of river
  • Travel through remote villages, impressive gorges and out-of-this-world scenery
This is the ultimate adventure trip in Nepal, combining a breathtaking Himalayan trek – including views of the famous Everest – with world-class whitewater. Eleven days off-the-beaten-track, away-from-it-all and very much in the wild, this trip is perfect for those with a great sense of adventure and excitement who want to get far away from the busy tourist trails.

The river is only runnable from the middle of October to the end of November, or in April and May. Due to the technicality of the rafting trip, the river levels need to be just right for the trip to go ahead.

Part of the draw to this tour is that we head out to an extremely remote area to reach the river, meaning that getting there can be quite the adventure in itself! For the budget traveler or those who want to experience the local transport, you can expect a 20+ hour journey from Kathmandu to the east of the country just to get to the start of our trek. Another option, and our recommendation If your budget allows, is to take a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Biratnagar and then a 6-hour drive to the trek start.

If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to get your heart pounding – this is the one!

GOOD TO KNOW
CANCELLATION

Cancellation for this product is free up to 48 hours before the chosen start date - full refund will be given. If cancelling less than 48 hours before the chosen start date no refund applies.

Other Practical InformationFor rafters, although your river guides will have all the necessary skills to guide you safely down the river, we do suggest that you have done a little bit of whitewater rafting previous to this trip. As there is no warm up (in the first minute of the river you are literally thrown into one of the most technical rapids of the river), you’ll want to know what to expect. For kayakers, you will need to be a confident Grade IV boater with a solid roll. The first few days are very intense, non-stop Grade IV rapids with little time to recover.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
  • How much money do I need to bring with me?

    Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

  • Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

    There are no quarantine requirements in Nepal for arriving visitors at the moment.

  • How much should my backpack weigh?

    A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.  

  • Do I need a porter?

    The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.

  • Do I require a porter for carrying water?

    On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
