Marsyandi River Adventure: A Whitewater Odyssey Through Himalayan Majesty
Embark on an exhilarating whitewater rafting and kayaking adventure on the Marsyandi River, a Himalayan gem originating from the northern slopes of the Annapurna Himal.

- “The Raging River”: Live up to its local moniker as you navigate through challenging rapids that characterize the Marsyandi. This river demands respect, offering a whitewater odyssey that’s both thrilling and humbling.
- Breathtaking Scenery: Immerse yourself in the picturesque landscape surrounding the Marsyandi. Marvel at the snow-capped peaks, terraced rice fields, and traditional villages along its course. Each twist and turn unveils a new facet of Himalayan majesty.
- Turquoise Waters: The Marsyandi’s turquoise blue waters wind their way through naturally sculpted boulders, creating a visually stunning tableau. The river’s beauty is as captivating as its rapids are challenging.
- Cultural Richness: Engage with the cultural tapestry of the region as you navigate the Marsyandi. Experience the local way of life, witness traditional houses in quaint villages, and appreciate the cultural richness that lines the riverbanks.
The Marsyandi River adventure is not merely a journey through rapids; it’s a holistic experience that combines the thrill of whitewater with the unmatched beauty of the Himalayas. With each paddle stroke, be prepared to be captivated by the grandeur and raw power of “the Raging River.”
Day 1: Drive 8 Hours To Besisahar From Kathmandu And Then To Khudi To Set Up Camp
Drive 8 hours to Besisahar from Kathmandu and then to Khudi to set up Camp After reaching Besisahar we unload the gear and one of our staff will show up with a porter who will carry all the expedition gear to our camp at Khudi. We arrive at Khudi in time to set up camp, relax and find the best spot to take in the magnificence of the surrounding Himalayas at sunset
Day 2: Trek Starts From Khudi To Ngadi Then Back To Ngadi By Raft For Your Night Camp
Trek start from Khudi to Ngadi then back to Ngadi by raft for your night camp After breakfast, we start trekking for a couple of hours to our put-in point Ngadi. Lunch will be served, rafts are pumped, gear handed out after and your expedition leader will brief you and train you on the land about safety and paddling. Pay attention as you are straight into the rapids and this river has a way of underlining any mistakes! This is the most knuckle gripping section of the river so enjoy it. We encounter rapids as Instant Karma, Twinkie, Adrenaline, and Mama’s Big Butt by Bhulbhule. We finish today back at Khudi and have a well-earned dinner.
Day 3: Start Adventure Rafting Trip From Khudi And Raft-Up To The Sandy Beach Below Besisahar
Start adventure rafting trip from Khudi and raft up to the sandy beach below Besisahar From today you have to be prepared to continuous bumping into the challenging rapids and it doesn’t stop after the 1st day. The crystal blue water thunders down steep as the waterfall for mile after mile, with lush jungle clinging insecurely to the canyon walls and surreal mountains suspended high above the forested ridges. You have to run on these rapids and tackle the intense whitewater rafting for the next 5 hours. Lunch will be provided on the way and then continue the descent to the camping site on the sandy beach. The white sandy beaches below Bensisahar make for the most comfortable nightspot around.
Day 4: As Done Before And Camp In Bhotewodar
As done before and camp in Bhotewodar After breakfast we hit directly into whitewater again. At Phaliya Sanghu the whole river is squeezed between vertical walls, which rise 200 ft to a suspension bridge across the river. For a short section after Phaliya Sanghu, the river relaxes, the rapids are more open and nowhere as powerful. We end the day at Bhotewodar, where we camp on the banks in the cave of a Shiva temple.
Day 5: Bhotewodar To Kathmandu
Bhotewodar to The river becomes very mellow and goes through a high walled gorge with birds and vegetation that can only be described as breathtaking. We reach our take-out point at Bimal Nagar by lunchtime where our transport is waiting to take us back to Pokhara or Chitwan or Kathmandu
