River Rafting in Nepal
Nepal is the second richest country in water resources in the world. The rivers rising in the Himalayan Glaciers and frozen lakes meander through the mountains and hills finding their own way southward. Many eventually join the Holy River Ganges in the northern plains of India.

Thrilling trips down these Himalayan rivers bring you the joy of exploring hidden wonders and the mysteries of this exotic land, away from roads and trails.
