Dear Baral
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 .
An interaction programme was organized on June 28, 2005 with twenty Thai Tour Operators who came here for FAM tour to share their experiences during their stay in Nepal .
His Majesty King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev inaugurated the Promote Nepal-2005 exhibition amid a special ceremony at the City Centre in Doha, Qatar, on June 14, 2005.
Although not the most inspiring river
for rafting in Nepal, is very much popular several
reasons-it is close to Kathmandu and for a cheap bus
ride you can be on the river in hours if a warm-up
is what you need on arrival in Nepal. The major road
running alongside it is, for most people, a down marker.
It does however provide easy access to transport and
villages along the way. For a family trip it provides
a less serious and committing adventure than many of
the other rivers.
From a rafting point of view there are some good rapids
but it is best run, in my opinion later in the season.
On passing the main rapids in September 1999, many
were washed out and only the biggest were evident.
The journey to the river takes about
3 hours by bus from Kathmandu, 5 hours from Pokhara.
Most groups put-in at Charaudi and take out at Mugling
and others continue till Narayangarh to make it a 3
days trip. From Narayanghat you can visit the Royal
Chitwan National Park.
The early sections contain class 2-3 rapids and build up steadily to class 4.
'Teen Devi' is a good class 4 above Benighat. Below here the river is class
3 as far as 'Upset' (4). After this the river winds its way down to Mugling
at the Confluence of the Marsyandi.
Other options exist on the Trisuli for kayakers. A bus from Kathmandu to Betrawati
or Trisuli bazaar can add another 15-20km of river to a trip. The advantages
are that this section is away from the big road. It is predominantly lower in
grade though at 2 - 3.
