White Water Kayaking
By arrna Published: 09/16/2010
Kayaking in Nepal is the best way to leave behind the stresses of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty and power of one of Nepal’s many rivers. Far more than just a high octane roller coaster ride full of water splashes, river journeys deliver pure escapism. As you tune in to the rhythm of the river, life slows down, your stress disappears, the adrenaline starts pumping and your focus becomes the simple and basic necessities of fun, sun, food and sleep. Camping on remote and beautiful riverside beaches, catching glimpses of the local culture as you paddle by, your journey will offer time for reflection as well as the thrill of taming (or not) some of the world’s best seat-of-the-pants, gravity powered and adrenaline pumping rapids.
Kayaking in Nepal can be a choice of single day trips to multi-day expeditions; all trips whether rafting or kayaking are fully supported and equipped to the last detail. Professional guides, on-river tuition, safety kayakers and state of the art equipment make challenging rivers possible, even with little or no previous rafting or kayaking experience. All you need to bring is a sense of adventure, a positive attitude and some clean underwear!!! The best seasons for kayaking in Nepal are from September to early December and from March to early June. Kayaking in Nepal during summer season makes many of Nepal’s rivers un-navigable due to increased water volume from the monsoon runoff and the winter season offers short, cold days and nights.
Nepal offers one of the best place for survial course. Most of the locals still rely on old traditional skills and trades for daily life.

What is Kayaking?
