Rafting days are more relaxed and shorter than trekking days. You rise when you wake and join the group for a help-yourself cup of tea or coffee, followed by breakfast a bit later. Then you pack up your gear, keeping whatever you will need during the day in a plastic bag. You are generally on the river by 10am and raft for 2-3 hours before pulling up to a sandy beach for a buffet lunch of salad, fresh fruit and brown bread. We spend another 1-2 hours on the river in the afternoon before setting up camp on the bank of the river.
Afternoon tea is served, followed by free time until dinner is served.
Evenings are spent recounting the day's adventure and getting to know your Nepali river guides. Please note that the Trisuli river has widely varying flow rates depending on the time of the year. From September to November the flow is quite strong and the rapids bigger than during March to May, when there is not a great deal of rain and the water level is low. But rafting is always fun, and whether the river is high or low, there are always rapids and opportunities for swimming. While on the river, be careful NOT to DIVE in as there are many rocks just below the surface and you could seriously injure yourself.
