Budi Gandaki

One of the rivers that have their source within Nepal, the Budi Gandaki drains the eastern slopes of two great mountains, the Manaslu and Ganesh Himal. It flows into the Trishuli like many rivers do and has an easy gradient from Arughat Bazzar just below which is the put-in point. Classified as Class II and Class III, the Budhi Bandaki is another starting point for the Trishuli run.
Very often, this trip is combined with a trek in the Gorkha district where great views of Manaslu and Banesh Himal can be had.
A direct route to the putin point below Arughat is however an easy drive from Kathmandu. Budi Gandaki flows through an open valley and has an easy gradient. This trip is also a cultural experience for rafters as the river flows past typical Nepali villages and the adventure finally ends at Charaudi.
