Trishuli River
Rafting in Nepal
Not far from the source the Trishuli
joins the Bhote Kohsi that flows from
Tibet. The two rivers joining in some
pretty fearsome looking gorges that are
visible on the way up to the Langtang
Trek. The Bheri river, the Marshyangdi
and the Seti river ads to its flow. The
Trisuli River is Nepal's most popular
rafting river. Impressive gorges,
exciting rapids, some easier sections,
and easily accessible from Kathmandu and
Pokhara. Recommended for intermediate
kayakers and those wanting a cheap white
water trip. When the Kali Gandaki joins
it, shortly before the plains, it
changes its name to the Narayani. Here,
it is a truly mighty river; peak flows
in the Monsoon have been measured at
25,700 cusec (extreme, instantaneous
discharge) about 900,000 cubic feet per
second or fiftytimes the typical flow of
Colorado river through the Grand Canyon.
