“Easy Access”
Originating from the Langtang Himal, a trip on the Trisuli River enjoys scenic valleys, terraced rice fields, and impressive gorges with exciting but not overly challenging white water rapids.
Conveniently running from just outside Kathmandu towards Chitwan and Pokhara, the Trisuli is one of Nepal’s most popular rivers, providing the option to travel by refreshing river instead of sitting on the bus towards two of Nepal’s most popular adventure destinations.
Additionally the convenience of running alongside the main highway, offers the opportunity to select whichever section of the river is best for your needs depending on your experience.
If you are short on time or simply interested in a bit of river fun and a trip which provides the convenience of getting you out of Kathmandu and on to your next travel destination – then this is the perfect choice.
Start in either Kathmandu or Pokhara and continue to either Kathmandu, Pokhara or Chitwan! The Trisuli River is your gateway to the BEST Canyoning in Nepal!

Trisuli River Map

I had such an amazing time this past weekend rafting with the group. Although the waters were crazy high, I felt completely safe. The guides were great. The food was amazing. I loved camping on the beach and loved the rafting and highly suggest it to future volunteers. Thanks Paddle Nepal! Gillian from Canada.
