What to do
Extend the Trishuli run into a two-day expedition — raft the upper gorge section Day 1, camp on a pristine sandy beach beside the river, and continue downstream through the lower canyon to Narayanghat on Day 2. The overnight camp under stars with cooking fires beside the Trishuli is one of the most affordable 'expedition' experiences in Nepal.
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.
