Locally, it is used to say that
Marshyangdi is the raging river in Nepal and describes
one of the best whitewater runs in the world. One of the
best class 4 kayaking rivers in the world-continuous,
exhilarating whitewater with magnificent mountain
backdrops. Recommended for expert kaykers and rafters.
If its adventure you seek, youll find it on this trip
with one day of easy trekking and five days of intense
rafting. Only recently opened for commercial rafting
(many rapids have not been named yet), the Marshyangdi
is one of the next generations of rivers in Nepal,
steeper and with a much more continuous stretch of
rapids.
The scenery is magnificent with every bend of the river
opening up fresh vistas of some of the world's highest
mountains, but these are behind-as someone said "great
views but you need rear view mirrors" |

Safety |
Safety is the most important
part of any river trip. Choosing
a professional veteran rafting
company is the first step. So it
helps to abide by the following
tips:
Pick your river with care.
Seek information from a rafting
agency, local experts, and
literature on river levels and
difficulty.
There should be a minimum of
two rafts per trip, so that one
can help when a fall happens
from the other.
Carry first-aid kit, survival
and rescue gear.
Check to see that end loops
and the leash are adequate
before you push off. This makes
it easier to keep hold of your
boat when swimming big rapids,
and also in the event of rescue.
Be a team person, paddle
synchronously.
For boats, paddles and
helmets, loud colors are
recommended.
Wear life jackets and helmets,
properly too.
Keep your feet and arms inside
the raft at all time.
When you fall off into a
rapid, float on your back, with
your feet downstream. |
