Rafting and Kayaking in Nepal:

Rafting
What is white water Rafting?
Whitewater rafting is negotiating river rapids and obstacles in an inflatable rubber boat with a team of up to seven people and a river guide. Rivers are graded from easy to near-impossible according to their size, the intensity of their rapids and the difficulties that may affect rescue attempts. Whitewater Rafting in Nepal:
WaterfallWhatever your desire for adventure, it is easy to find the perfect river in Nepal. From a gentle two-day float down the Seti river, to an exhilarating 10-day adventure through the rapids of the remote Tamur, there is an experience for everyone waiting in Nepal's famous white waters.Nepal's rivers change with the seasons. Each year, after the heavy monsoon rains the waters swell, changing the run of the rivers and the nature of the rapids. New rapids are created; others become more difficult and some simply impossible to navigate. It is important to remember that some of the white water action you are about to read about could have changed by the time you come to run the river. At MRR we are constantly monitoring changes in the rivers and their rapids, so that we can always ensure the safety of our clients and plan expeditions with precision.

What is Kayaking?
Kayaking is usually an individual water sport. Kayaks are made from a special type of plastic and have floatation devices inserted to aid buoyancy. Kayakers move through the water with a double blade paddle, and are able to negotiate rapids and obstacles on the river.
