Day 1: Drive from
Kathmandu to Khadichaur, the first day rafting starting point-
so scenic and panoramic driving. After arrival our chef will
prepare Lunch and guides will prepare the rafts and kayaks-
your hand is necessary. Get set and be attention to our guides'
briefing about paddling and safety talk. Then paddles starts
dancing rhythmically- paddle forward, backward. On the first
day we have only III class rapids i.e. launching exercise
for the first day because we are going to have real hard day
tomorrow. Drive back to Baseri (further up from the starting
point), camp set at the place of peace and tranquility. Enjoy
the campfire and Nepali Ghorle singing with dance having local
made raksi.
Day 2: After having
Breakfast, we explore down in dread encountering with challenge
of V class rapids "Frog on the Blinder", "Midnight
Express" and numerous IV class rapids. Len your body
and paddle harder and faster with tremendous energy because
"Wall" and "Cave" are hissing towards
us. The scenery of the different mountains, the villa, forest
and Nepali ethno cultural life is so marvelous and fantastic.
Monotonously, we are giving up paddling at the Lamasangu Dam
and drive back to Kathmandu. What a heart-vibrating trip we
had!
