Marshyangdi River

Nagdi, the put in point for the Marsyangdi River is 6 hours west of Kathmandu by bus followed by a 1 day trek to the river side. Porters transport all the rafting equipment and other necessities for the trip. Transportation from Pokhara can also be arranged. The 65km of river action takes 4 days . Bus transportation is provided from the take-out point at Bimalnagar to either Kathmandu (5 hours) or Pokhara (2 hours). There is a orientation meeting early in the evening before the trip, providing you with an opportunity to ask any further questions you may have, to meet your fellow rafters and also your guide.

The views on the half day trek to the put in point is an excellent preparation for the wonderful scenery that this trip offers. It is known as one of the best white water journeys in the world. The river rages through narrow gorges and canyons and past stunning Annapurna Mountains.

The challenging grade 4 to 5- rapids begin on day one and are practically continuous to the take-out point, with steep, technical and thrilling rides through Himalayan scenery.

This is an ideal choice for those wanting an intense and extreme rafting trip and is better suited to those who have had previous rafting experience. The half day trek adds to the uniqueness of this journey.
