MARSYANGDI
RIVER RAFTING - 5 DAYS
|
|
The
"raging river", Marsyangdi River, drains the northern
slope of the Annapurna mountains. It was only opened to rafting
in 1996 and yields some of the most exciting class iv-v white water
in Nepal. This river demands 100% Commitment from both crew and
guide. It is totally different from the big volume rivers like the
Sun Koshi and Karnali, the rapids are technical and require a very
different approach. Big volume rivers need power and a good line,
the Marsyangdi needs fast reactions from the crew to get through
this pin ball machine river. The Marsyangdi quickly forges raft
crews of complete strangers into true teams.
Located
on the eastern side of the Annapurna circuit, the Marsyangdi River
has long been famous for the beautiful views. With each twist and
turn the steep sided gorge walls frame a new mountain backdrop.

| Day
01 |
After
breakfast, we leave by private bus to Besisahaar. The last four
hours of this ride takes us off the "good" tarmac roads
and tends to be a little bouncy in places ( I hope this is a subtle
enough hint). We have scheduled a rest day into the program to
allow for any unlikely but potential delays. That night we stay
at a teahouse. |
| Day 02 |
We start
trekking for a couple of hours to Khudi where we make camp and
sleep for the night. We will leave one of our staff to look after
the campsite, then we will continue to trek for one hour more
to Bulbule. Your expedition leader and guides will brief you and
train you on land about safety and paddling. Pay attention as
you are straight into the rapids and this river has a way of underlining
any Mistakes! Overnight Khudi. |
| Day 03 |
After breakfast,
hike up to Nagdi with all the gears to the river put in point.
This is the most knuckle gripping section of the river so enjoy
it as you will encounter continuous Class 4 rapids. We finish
today at Besisahar and have a well earned dinner no doubt a rum
punch to help it down. |
Day 04 |
This is the
day to relax, go walking and learn to roll in a kayak and have
a day in this beautiful area, away from the crowds of trekkers.
The only reason this day is lost is if there are any problems
on day one as explained. |
| Day 05 |
The river
becomes very mellow and goes through a high walled gorge with
birds and vegetation that can only be described as breath taking.
We reach our take out point at Bimal Nagar by lunch time where
our transport is waiting to take us back to Kathmandu/Pokhara.
