Nepal Rafting Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Rafting Nepal tours
Olav Grouwstra | Traveled in September
An overview of our trip: 4 hours bus from Kathmandu to rafting location 2 hour rafting, with 1 hour lunch break in between 5 hours back in a 'local bus' which was a not so comfortable van The rafting was fun, but not worth the travel time. Although the water wasn't very wild, the rafting guides made sure it was a fun experience.
Tom Page | Traveled in September
This local operator is the best, they rock. I have been going to Nepal since 1998 and I can honestly say that they are the number one company in Nepal. Excellent safety standards, excellent equipment and most of all the staff are so friendly and always put you first. I spent over three weeks with the operator and always felt safe and amongst friends. Chrissy and Maila have got a great team and are well worth booking with.
Liam Kirkham | Traveled in September
Any where you go with these guys will be well worth it! If you get a chance book yourself on the sun kosi!
Sarah West | Traveled in September
The guides were amazing and we had the best day on the Trisuli river rafting trip! It was so much fun, stunning scenery, delicious food and brilliant rapids. The local operator were the perfect company to go with - couldn't recommend them more!
Laurence | Traveled in September
Been wit the local operator now 3 times to Nepal, either with mates kayaking or rafting. Everything goes to plan, really fun and the guides are awesome too! River camp in an amazing location got to stay there in Nov 2016, peace and quiet unlike the hustle of Kathmandu. Cannot wait to see the new additions. Back out again in November for the Tamur!
