Pokhara
to rafting put-in point Nayapul 70 km. for 4 hours
drive from Pokhara and then evening at the camp
of Modi Khola. At around 7 am, we drive to the
put-in point. Upon arrival, we unload all the
equipment and you will receive a full safety briefing.
Have lunch and then the guide will take you to
the river starting point ready to begin your exciting
3 days rafting trip. First day we begin with plenty
of class III rapids this is a warm up for the
team, after couple of hours you will be encountering
2 big class 4 rapids i.e. ‘Small Brother’
and ‘Big Brother’. Your guide will
be making you work hard at doing exercises to
work as a team maneuvering the raft efficiently.
After scouting the rapid, the safety kayaks will
go first then the raft. Soon after encountering
these two big rapids we will reach the Modi Khola
confluence where we will choose the beach for
the evening campsite. We unload the rafts and
one raft team prepares dinner while the others
play volleyball or relax and take in the scenery. |
| Day-03 |
Camp
site Modi Khola to second day camp site below
the village of Purti Ghat. Once the rafts are
packed we start down the river for a day mixed
with adrenaline, calm and spectacular scenery
including views of Annapurna I and Himchuli. We
will tackle many class III sections and the challenging
class IV named REFUND. This section of river is
abundant with vines and lush vegetation hanging
from the cliff faces. Our campsite is below the
village of Purti Ghat. |
| Day-04 |
Purti
Ghat to Mirme, Almost immediately after being
back on the water we reach the holy village of
Seti Beni. The river has deposited a house size
boulder in the confluence with a smaller tributary.
Since confluences are considered holy places in
the Hindu religion, this boulder has become an
important shrine to the local river people. There
is usually a great audience to watch and listen
to the spectacle as each team negotiates the rapid
that has formed around this holy place. After
the shirt-rafting trip it is time for the journey
to end. You arrive in the Mirme where your bus
will be waiting for you. We load up the gear and
prepare for the bus journey back to Pokhara 105
km. for 5 hours driving. |
