| Marsyangdi, "The Raging River": |
MARSYANGDI was opened to commercial rafting Only recently.
Literally meaning " The Raging River", this is
one of the next generations of rivers in Nepal: It is "solid
white" water from the very first day, steep and full
of long stretches of rapids. It includes a short hiking
tour of about two days in the beginning with great views
of the Manaslu and the Annapurna ahead of you the entire
time. Starting from Ngadi downstream to the end of the trip
to Bimalnagar, the rapids are steep, technical, and consecutive,
making the Marsyangdi a serious undertaking. Marsyangdi
is the best choice for people looking for a trip with a
lot of challenging whitewater and Great sceneries.
MARSYANGDI has some of the challenging rapids like the "Instant
Karma", "Morphine", "Mama's Big Butt",
" Kiwi Cupcake" and others. |
