“The Raging River”

Draining off the Northern slopes of the Annapurna Mountains, this “raging river” is steep, technical and not to be underestimated! This spectacular white water adventure shares some of the most exciting rapids in the world with some of the most beautiful mountains in the Himalaya. With two days of intense, challenging and continuous rapids and crystal clear Himalayan white water, it is no surprise that this is one of our most popular trips. This river demands 100% commitment from both crew & guide – it is not for the faint hearted!

Thanks for the most thrilling adventure I have ever had. I love rafting and I love Nepal. I have rafted in many countries around the world, but this is the best so far. Awesome rapids, crystal clear white water and amazing mountain views. It does not get any better than this. Thanks to the great crew who kept us safe and well fed. Highly recommended.
