"Class III rapids on the way to Pokhara — Nepal's most accessible rafting"
The Trishuli is Nepal's introductory rafting river — Class III rapids with a few Class IV+ sections, scenic gorge, and easy access. Most trips put in at Charaudi and take out at Mugling, perfectly timed to coincide with the Kathmandu-Pokhara drive. Half-day or full-day options; multi-day trips include riverside camping. The river is the most reliable year-round option in Nepal.
