Trishuli River Rafting — 2 Days

Class III white water from Malekhu to Mugling, with riverside camping

The Trishuli River, a white water system flowing southeast from the Kathmandu Valley toward the Prithvi Highway corridor, offers a two-day rafting route suited to both first-time paddlers and experienced rafters. The river presents a sequence of Class II and III rapids—including named sections such as Surprise, S Bend, Pinball, Upset, and Ladies' Delight—across approximately four hours of active paddling on day one (Malekhu to Majimtar) and a continuation on day two (Majimtar to Mugling). A 3–4 hour ground transfer from Kathmandu delivers paddlers to the put-in at Malekhu. The itinerary includes a night camped on the river bank, a guided paddle with professional river staff, and lunch served on the bank.
