Rafting in Nepal
Nepal has been with numerous fast flowing rivers that gush down from the Himalayas cutting through mountains and carving deep gorges to finally reach the vast plains where, slowing down they meander lazily towards India. Many of these rivers are ideal for rafting ,and some are considered the best in the world by professional rafters from the west. Rafting is also a fascinating means of getting to know the country rivers flow through some of the most enchanting landscapes that include snow-covered mountains, terraced hillsides, sparkling waterfalls, lush green valleys and typical, charming little Nepali villages.
