Useful Information

#Some notes on white water river rafting: Rafting in the Trishuli River can be suitable for a wide range of people, but it ultimately depends on your physical abilities, interests, and preferences. Here are some factors to consider to determine if it is suitable for you: 

  • Physical fitness: Rafting can be physically demanding, and you will need to be in good physical shape to handle the rapids and paddle for several hours. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, it's best to consult your doctor before planning your rafting trip. 
  • Age: There's no age limit for rafting on the Trishuli River, but you should be at least 12 years old and in good physical condition. 
  • Experience: Trishuli River has rapids ranging from class II to class III, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced rafters. If you are a beginner, you can still enjoy the rafting experience by choosing a less challenging route and going with an experienced guide. 
  • Comfort level: Rafting involves some level of risk, and you will need to be comfortable with being on the water and wearing safety gear such as a life jacket and helmet.

Preparation for river rafting:

White water river rafting is a thrilling adventure activity that requires some preparation beforehand. Here are some things to keep in mind to ensure a safe and enjoyable rafting experience: 

  • Fitness: Rafting requires a moderate level of fitness, so it's important to be in good physical shape. Regular exercise and cardio activities like running, swimming, or cycling can help you prepare for the trip. 
  • Clothing: Make sure to wear comfortable clothes that can get wet. Avoid wearing cotton, as it takes a long time to dry. Quick-drying clothes like polyester or nylon are better options. 
  • Footwear: Wear shoes or sandals with good grip, as you will be walking on slippery rocks and wet surfaces. Avoid wearing flip-flops or sandals without straps. • Sunscreen and Insect Repellent: Bring sunscreen and insect repellent to protect your skin from the sun and insect bites. 
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water before the trip and bring water bottles with you. Dehydration can be a serious issue during rafting. 
  • Safety Gear: We will provide you with a life jacket and a helmet. Make sure they fit properly and wear them at all times during the trip. 
  • Camera: Bring a waterproof camera to capture the scenic views and memorable moments of the trip. 
  • Follow the Guide: Always listen to the guide's instructions and follow their lead. They are experienced and know how to navigate the river safely. 
  • Respect the Environment: Keep the river and its surroundings clean and respect the local culture and customs.
