Description
The views on the half day trek to
the put in point for rafting/kayaking on Marsyandi
river is an excellent preparation for the  wonderful
scenery that this trip offers. Marsyandi rafting/kayaking
is known as one of the best white water journeys
in the world. The river rages through narrow gorges
and canyons and past stunning Annapurna Mountains.
The
challenging grade 4 to 5- rapids begin on day one
and are practically continuous to the take-out point,
with steep, technical and thrilling rides through
Himalayan scenery.
Marshyangdi
river is an ideal choice for those wanting an intense
and extreme rafting trip and is better suited to
those who have had previous rafting experience.
The half day trek is a plus point to the uniqueness
of this journey.
