Nepal's classic beginner-to-intermediate river run — put in at Charaudi (480 m) and raft 25 km of continuous Grade 3 rapids ('Upset', 'Snob', 'Ladies Delight') to Mugling where the Trishuli meets the Marsyangdi. Crystal-clear green water, forested canyon walls, and a beach lunch mid-river make this the most popular single-day rafting trip from Kathmandu. Return by bus or shared jeep from Mugling.
