Departures

Marshyangdi

international departure dates | map

'Raging River', in the local dialect, aptly describes one of the best whitewater runs in the world. Only recently opened for commercial rafting (many rapids have not yet been named), the Marshyangdi is one of the next generation of rivers in Nepal, which is steeper and with a much more continuous stretch of rapids. While driving to the raft put-in point, you will get to see great views of the Manaslu and the Annapurna. The scenery is breathtaking!

From Ngadi, downstream, to the end of the trip at Bimalnagar, it is solid whitewater. Rapids are steep, technical, and consecutive, making the Marshyangdi a serious undertaking. For people looking for a trip with a lot of demanding whitewater and great mountain scenery, the Marshyangdi is hard to beat. This is the river that demands respect.
