Why Choose Trishuli River for Rafting?
Trishuli River stands out as one of the best rivers for rafting in Nepal due to its accessibility, varied rapids, and breathtaking views of the Himalayan scenery. Situated just a few hours' drive from Kathmandu, it offers the perfect option for those seeking a short but thrilling rafting trip. Besides the excitement of navigating the rapids, you’ll also be able to enjoy tranquil moments as you float past forests, terraced fields, and the occasional wildlife sighting such as monkeys and birds. For these reasons, Trishuli River is considered one of the top rafting destinations in Nepal.
The Best Time for Trishuli River Rafting
The best time for Trishuli River rafting is during the dry seasons, typically from September to December and March to May. During these months, the river offers optimal water levels for rafting—perfect for an adrenaline-pumping adventure. The weather is also pleasant, making it a great time for outdoor activities. Although Trishuli is open year-round, the river can be too low in the monsoon season (June to August), limiting the thrill of the rapids.
