The prominent Hindu deity Lord Shiva, who wields a ‘Trident’ that is always present, inspired the name of the river Trishuli. This river is also the most popular for whitewater rafting in Nepal since it is so easily accessible from Kathmandu and Pokhara. The Trishuli River flows through intriguing valleys, magnificent gorges, rolling rapids, as well as calm stretches, making the journey a terrific experience for both novices and experts. The typical journey takes one to three days.
The Trishuli is available to enthusiastic rafters even during the height of the monsoon, unlike other rivers that are unsuitable for rafting during specific seasons. The Trishuli is a thrilling journey because of the treacherous conditions caused by the high waters.
