Location, Transportation and Timetable
The put-in point for the Trisuli River is located just 3 to 3.5 hours west of Kathmandu, making it an excellent choice for short trips, or for clients en route to Pokhara or Chitwan National Park.
The Trisuli can be rafted for anything between 1 and 3 days, 20 - 60 km. Most people opt for the classic two day trip. The return journey to Kathmandu is 5 hours, to Pokhara approximately 4 hours and to Chitwan approximately 1 hours.
Mountain River Rafting arranges private tourist bus transportation to the put-in point, usually Charaudi. (This may differ for longer/shorter trips.) Transportation from the take-out point at the end of the trip is also arranged, to whichever destination is next for the client.
Description
The scenery on the river includes small gorges and a glimpse of the cable car leading to the famous Manakamana temple.
For the majority of the year the rapids encountered on the Trisuli are straightforward, easily negotiated and well spaced out.
The Trishuli is an excellent river for those looking for a short trip, without the challenge of huge rapids, but with beautiful scenery and a relatively peaceful environment. During the monsoon months the intensity of the rapids increases and attracts a radically different set of rafters.
