Trishuli River rafting is one of the most popular rafting rivers in Nepal which offers an admirable chance to observe the diversity of demography, landscapes, and cultural heritage, and flora and fauna. Since the river flows from a famous pilgrimage place Gosaikunda which lies high in the Himalayas, the name of this river emerged as Trishuli. According to myth, high in the peak at Gosainkunda the god Shiva drove his trident into the rocky mountain to generate three springs –the source of the river and hence the name derived as Trishuli.
This renowned rafting offers an easy way in from Katmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara as well. Astonishing beautiful valleys, striking gorges, and enlivening rapids make this river a wonderful rafting destination. In the months of monsoon, the river runs outrageously and there are barely any rafters around. So, rafting on the Trishuli during monsoon season is the most exciting adventure you can do in Nepal.
Trishuli River rafting is a good choice for those looking for a short river trip, without the challenge of huge rapids, but with some really exciting rapids, stunning scenery, and a fairly calm environment. The names given to the exciting rapids of Trishuli River are; Ladies Delight, Snail’s Nose, Monkey Rapid, Teendevi, Malekhu Rapid, Upset, Surprise, S-Bend, Cotton Pony, Monsoon, Pinball Rapid, etc. Rafting in the Trishuli River is undeniably the most stirring adventurous sport you can do in Nepal during monsoon, and probably one of the best big water rafting trips offered anywhere in the world.
The best season for Trishuli River Rafting is September – December, January – May, and June – August.
