Monsoon Madness  10 days 

This is a trip for the experienced kayaker who want to challenge Nepal´s big monsoon waters and non-commercial creeks!

This nine day white water challenge is for the experienced kayaker - to participate you should paddle Class III+ waters with confidence and have a solid roll.

The trip is done with the Royal Beach Camp as a base and starts with a couple of days warm up paddling on our home river Trisuli, a big volume river that rocks during the monsoon!

We move on to paddle Thopal Khola and Budi Gandaki off the beaten track. Then we head west and continue kayaking Seti and Marsyangdi rivers!

The trip is lead by one of our experienced river leaders and is a intense kayaking experience. 

DAY 1: Arrive at Royal Beach Camp, settle, meet the team and fit your kayak and gear. After lunch we go boating, Trisuli is a big volume river that rocks after monsoon! Join us for dinner and good sleep in a safari tent or bamboo hut by the river.

DAY 2: We spend the day kayaking the mighty Trisuli and punch some massive class IV rapids. Breakfast, lunch and dinner and overnight by the river at Royal Beach Camp.

DAY 3: After breakfast we drive to Thopal Khola, a small class III+ creek that can only be paddled during the monsoon. Thopal Khola drains in Trisuli and we return on our “home river” to the camp. Overnight at Royal Beach Camp.

DAY 4: Time to head to another river off the beaten track - Budi Gandaki. After a full day drive we set up camp by the river.

DAY 5: Full day paddling Budi Gandaki, kayaking big volume, fast moving water, continuous class III – IV rapids. We set up camp by the river.

DAY 6: On our last day we make an early start and continue down Budi Gandaki to the confluence with Trisuli, a fun run with some nice play waves to surf. Arrive to RBC for lunch. Afternoon we do the tiger run on the Trisuli. 

DAY 7: In one intense day, we paddle two different rivers. We start early and run the Trishuli down to Mugling where we take transportation onwards to Marsyangdi. We run a 12 km section of class IV+ white water on the iconic Marsyangdi river. We return to Royal Beach Camp for the night.

DAY 8: It's time to kayak Seti river. We put in at Damauli and run down to the confluence with Trisuli. The river is big and offer us some challenging class III – IV water. We stay the night at RBC.
