River Rafting
River rafting, also known as Whitewater rafting, is now the third most popular adventure sport in Nepal after mountaineering and trekking. The Sun Koshi river (The Golden River) presents the longest river trip in Nepal, traversing 270 km (170 mi) and meandering through the picturesque Mahabharata mountains. The trip is listed as one of the world’s top ten classic river journeys.
A classic multi-day River trip (9 days) with around 40 rapids of grade 2-5 (Rivers are graded on a scale from one to six based on rapids and difficulties in rafting through the river) is recommended for advanced Rafters and Kayakers.

Famous quotes containing the word river:
“The river knows the way to the sea;
Without a pilot it runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.”
