Your exciting day of rafting on the Trishuli River begins early in the morning after a hearty breakfast. From Kathmandu, you’ll embark on a scenic drive along the Prithvi Highway. As you journey toward Charaudi-the rafting starting point-you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of Nepal’s changing landscapes: rolling hills, deep valleys, terraced fields, and, on a clear day, the majestic Himalayas to the north. The drive from Kathmandu to Charaudi takes around 3 to 4 hours. Along the way, you’ll take a short rest stop at Malekhu, a well-known highway town by the Trishuli River. Here, you can enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee along with some local snacks before continuing the trip.

Upon reaching Charaudi, it will take about 30 minutes to prepare for the rafting adventure. You’ll change into suitable attire and gear up with all necessary safety equipment, including helmets, life jackets, and paddles. It’s best to wear light, comfortable clothing underneath. Before launching into the river, your rafting guide will provide a detailed safety briefing and go over paddling techniques and river commands. Then the real adventure begins! You’ll tackle a series of fun and challenging rapids as you float downstream. Along the way, you’ll pass through dramatic gorges, serene pools, forested riverbanks, and traditional villages nestled in the hills. Your guide may also point out safe spots for swimming or cliff jumping-just be sure to listen carefully and follow all safety instructions.

After about 4 hours of exhilarating rafting, your journey will conclude at Kuringhat. At the takeout point, you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared packed lunch at a riverside resort. Finally, you’ll board a local bus for the return trip to Kathmandu, bringing your thrilling day on the Trishuli River to a close.
