Marshangdi

Seasoned rafters from around the globe consider the Marsyangdi one of the best rafting rivers in the world. Encounters with rapids of Class IV to Class V make this run an exciting and exhilarating one. To further add to the thrills on this river, there are superb views of the Manaslu and Annapurna massifs throughout the trip.

Rapids: Instant Karma, Twinkle, Mama's Big Butt and Adrenaline.

This is one of those trips which involve a day's trek.
 Rafters are taken on a wonderful adventure,
meeting local people in their villages followed by a rafting trip that offers continous confrontations with bouncing white water rapids. The journey starts with an 8-hour drive to Khudi where the short trek begins. Camp is set up at Bhulbhule which allows wonderful spectacular. Another short hike the next morning, leads to the put-in point at Ngadi. The river trip begins after lunch and immediately rapids appear. Each day brings fresh challenges as the river gets bigger and bouncier, crashing through canyons surrounded by lush green jungle. This four-day spectacular run ends with scenic float which is a good respite from the bumpy ride downstream.
