This was the first time I booked directly through the WEB , and I thought it's a little risky, especially when I had to send my money to Katmandu and I wend to Delhi .

Rafting and Kayaking in Nepal
   
   
  Nepal is one of the most popular destinations for rafters and kayakers. The majestic Himalayas in the north are the sources to major river systems of Nepal. Not necessarily, you will need a formal training or experience to raft in these rivers but you need a spirit of adventure. We maintain a team of well trained and experienced river guides to take you on the exciting river trips.

The monsoon starts from June and lasts till mid September and brings torrential rains that flood the rivers so it's not advisable for rafting or kayaking at this time. Peak season for rafting is October through November: the monsoon is over, everything is very green, rivers are moderately high but dropping, temperatures are warm and skies are clear with fine mountain views.

The winter months from late December through to early February are cold and river levels will be low. Lots of river runners out over Christmas and have a great time, but one certainly should expect cold water and perhaps think in terms of wet suits and dry tops. From late February through early April is also good time for river running - river levels are reliably low, air temperature warm and blue. The disadvantage is that the air is often hazy: one cannot be assured of stunning mountain views and there may be occasional shower of rain.
