Location,
Transportation and Timetable
The put-in point for the Trisuli River
is located just 3 to 3.5 hours west
of Kathmandu, making it an excellent
choice for short trips, or for clients
en route to Pokhara or Chitwan National
Park.
The Trisuli
can be rafted for anything between 1
and 3 days, 20 - 60 km. Most people
opt for the classic two day trip. The
return journey to Kathmandu is 5 hours,
to Pokhara approximately 4 hours and
to Chitwan approximately 1 hours.
Mountain
River Rafting arranges private tourist
bus transportation to the put-in point,
usually Charaudi. (This may differ for
longer/shorter trips.) Transportation
from the take-out point at the end of
the trip is also arranged, to whichever
destination is next for the client.
Description
The scenery on the river includes small
gorges and a glimpse of the cable car
leading to the famous Manakamana temple.
For
the majority of the year the rapids
encountered on the Trisuli are straightforward,
easily negotiated and well spaced out.
The Trishuli
is an excellent river for those looking
for a short trip, without the challenge
of huge rapids, but with beautiful scenery
and a relatively peaceful environment.
During the monsoon months the intensity
of the rapids increases and attracts
a radically different set of rafters.
