Views along the route

" Raging River" in the local dialect aptly describes one of the best whitewater runs in the world.  Only recently opened for commercial rafting (many rapids have not been named yet), the Marshyangdi is one of the next generations of rivers in Nepal, steeper and with a  much more continuous stretch of rapids. The trek is stunning, with great views of the Manaslu and the Annapurnas ahead of you the entire time.  The scenery is breathtaking. 

From Ngadi downstream to the end of the trip at Bimalnagar it is solid whitewater.  Rapids are steep, technical, and consecutive, making the Marshyangdi a serious undertaking.  For people looking for a trip with a lot of demanding whitewater and great mountain scenery, the Marshyangdi is hard to beat.  This is the river that demands Respect.
