Marshyangdi River
Rafting in Nepal
One of the most outstanding class 4
rafting rivers in the world. Continuous,
exhilarating white water with
magnificent mountain backdrops.
Recommended for experts kayakers and
rafters from Bhote Odar on.
The Marshyangdi river rises on the
northern slopes of the Annapurna Himal,
flows east through an arid valley around
Manang, and then swings south to join
the Trisuli river at Mugling.
