On this two-week trip the best expedition paddlers in Nepal. Will guide you down five of the great Himalayas rivers - Trisuli, Seti, Madi, Modi and Marsyangdi. We camp on the riverbank and stay in teahouses and an occasional night to rest in the comfort of a Pokhara hotel. We travel on private transportation between the different take-outs and put-ins. Once on the rivers we are completely self-supported for a few days - carrying what we need in our kayaks. This is the trip for paddlers who want to test their limits!We warm up on the class III Trisuli River and stay in our base camp at the Royal Beach. We then move on to Pokhara for our next river - Seti. Seti offers us class IV white water and breathtaking views of the over 8000 meter surrounding peaks! Our third and fourth rivers on this exciting expedition are the Madi and Modi Khola. Both rivers are technical and will challenge even the experienced paddlers. To get to our put-ins we need to trek. Porters help us carry our boats as we make it into the more remote areas and up the steep rivers draining of the famous Annapurnas. We finish with the Marsyangdi, offering raging white water and fantastic views of Manasalu from the eddy. Marsyangdi is often counted as one of the top ten white water rivers in the world! |
