Rafting in Marshyangdi River |
 |
|
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 it’s adventure you seek, you’ll 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". |

Detail Itinerary of Marshyangdi River |
Days 1 : Drive 8 hours
to Besisahar from Kathmandu and then to Khudi to set up Camp.
After reaching Besisahar we unload the gear and one of our staff
will show up with a porter who will carry all the expedition
gear to our camp at Khudi. We arrive at Khudi in time to set up
camp, relax and find the best spot to take in the magnificence
of the surrounding Himalayas at sunset. |
Days 2 : Trek start from
Khudi to Ngadi then back to Ngadi by raft for your night camp.
After breakfast, we start trekking for a couple of hours to our
put in point Ngadi. Lunch will be served, rafts are pumped, gear
handed out after and your expedition leader will brief you and
train you on land about safety and paddling. Pay attention as
you are straight into the rapids and this river has a way of
underlining any mistakes! This is the most knuckle gripping
section of the river so enjoy it. We encounter rapids as Instant
Karma, Twinkie, Adrenaline, and Mama’s Big Butt by Bhulbhule. We
finish today back at Khudi and have a well-earned dinnert. |
Days 3 : Start
adventure-rafting trip from Khudi and raft up to the sandy beach
below Besisahar. From today you have to be prepared to
continuous bumping into the challenging rapids and it doesn’t
stop after the 1st day. The crystal blue water thunders down
steep as waterfall for mile after mile, with lush jungle
clinging insecurely to the canyon walls and surreal mountains
suspended high above the forested ridges. You have to run on
these rapids and tackle the intense whitewater rafting for the
next 5 hours. Lunch will be provided on the way and then
continue descent to the camping site in the sandy beach. The
white sandy beaches below Bensisahar make for the most
comfortable nightspot around. |
Days 4 : CAs done before
and camp in Bhotewodar. After breakfast we hit directly into
whitewater again. At Phaliya Sanghu the whole river is squeezed
between vertical walls, which rise 200 ft to a suspension bridge
across the river. For a short section after Phaliya Sanghu the
river relaxes, the rapids are more open and nowhere as powerful.
We end the day at Bhotewodar, where we camp on the banks in the
cave of a Shiva temple. |
Days 5 : Bhotewodar. The
river becomes very mellow and goes through a high walled gorge
with birds and vegetation that can only be described as breath
taking. We reach our take out point at Bimal Nagar by lunchtime
where our transport is waiting to take us back to Pokhara or
Chitwan or Kathmandu. |
