Trip Overview
Trishuli River Rafting is an excellent river for those looking for a short river rafting trip, without a huge challenge but with some really exciting rapids, beautiful scenery, and a relatively peaceful environment. It not only gives you the thrill and the chill down the spine but it also mesmerizes you with the insight into the beautiful hills, greenery around, the Mankamana cable car, and the road alongside.
Trishuli river is located on the west of Kathmandu, on the way to famous beautiful destinations Pokhara and Chitwan National Park. You can also do this trip on the way back as it lies on the route of most treks in the Annapurna region as well. Otherwise, you can reach there within a 3 to 5 hours drive from Kathmandu, where you will be picked up from your hotel at around 7:30 am after breakfast by a private tourist vehicle. The cost of this rafting trip might vary depending on where you are planning to start the trip as the transport cost is more than that of rafting.
