Karnali Rafting
Nepal has always been synonymous with adventure tourism, and rafting is at the heart of it. With snow-fed Himalayan rivers cutting through deep canyons, lush forests, and remote valleys, Nepal provides some of the most exhilarating rafting experiences in the world. As the 2025 season approaches, Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., one of Nepal’s most trusted adventure companies, has officially unveiled its Top 10 Rafting Packages. These trips are not just about whitewater excitement—they combine cultural discovery, pristine nature, and the charm of wilderness camping along Nepal’s iconic rivers.
Travelers can choose from short 3–4 day escapes, perfect for those with limited time, to long 12–13 day expeditions designed for thrill-seekers who want to explore remote regions of Nepal. Each package is crafted to balance adrenaline-pumping rapids, scenic landscapes, eco-friendly camping, and authentic cultural encounters. Whether you are a beginner, a family traveler, or a professional adventurer, Karnali Rafting & Adventure ensures top-notch safety, expert guides, and unforgettable experiences.
The heart of Nepal’s rafting culture lies in its long, wild rivers, where expeditions stretch beyond a week and immerse rafters into untouched nature.
The Karnali River Rafting Expedition – 13 Days is the crown jewel of Karnali Rafting & Adventure. Known as Nepal’s longest and mightiest river journey, this trip takes you deep into remote western Nepal. Rafters encounter legendary rapids such as God’s House and Juicer, camp under dazzling starlit skies, and fish for Golden Mahseer along sandy riverbanks. This expedition is designed for hardcore adventure lovers who want the full wilderness immersion.
If 13 days feels too long, the Karnali Rafting Expedition – 12 Days offers a slightly shorter version while keeping all the thrills intact. Rafters still enjoy the roaring rapids, cultural village stops, and wildlife-rich jungle campsites.
For those who prefer a calmer yet equally scenic expedition, the Bheri River Rafting Expedition – 11 Days is a top choice. Known for its turquoise waters, enchanting gorges, and soft sandy beaches, the Bheri River is less crowded but no less spectacular. This expedition blends rafting with cultural village visits, fishing opportunities, and campfire evenings, making it a favorite for families and photographers.
Not every traveler can commit to 12–13 days, so Karnali Rafting & Adventure has designed 8–7 day trips that pack the same adrenaline and wilderness into shorter itineraries.
The Bheri River Rafting Expedition – 8 Days is perfect for those who want to taste adventure without dedicating two full weeks. This package delivers turquoise waters, friendly Class III–IV rapids, and plenty of relaxation time by pristine campsites. It’s a beautiful blend of adventure and serenity.
For rafters seeking Nepal’s most powerful river in less time, the Karnali River Rafting – 8 Days offers a concentrated version of the Karnali thrill. You still get the big-volume rapids, jungle encounters, and sandy beach camping, but within a manageable 8-day frame.
If even that is too long, the Karnali Rafting Expedition – 7 Days compresses the wilderness journey into just one week. This trip is ideal for travelers flying into Nepal for a short holiday, providing non-stop rafting action and quick access via domestic flights.

Karnali Rafting & Adventure also caters to those who want short, sporty, and high-adrenaline trips in just 3–4 days.
The Marshyangdi River Rafting – 3 Days is often called Nepal’s steepest rafting river. Flowing down from the Annapurna region, it offers continuous Class IV–V rapids, technical paddling, and breathtaking mountain views. This package is tailor-made for thrill-seekers looking for an intense yet short rafting getaway.
If you want something playful and culturally unique, the Mahakali River Rafting – 4 Days is a fantastic option. Flowing along the Nepal-India border, the Mahakali offers moderate rapids, wildlife encounters, and the chance to experience cross-border culture. It’s less intense than Karnali or Marshyangdi, making it a great choice for beginners and families.
The Tamakoshi River – 4 Days, also called the “River of Copper,” runs through deep gorges and rugged landscapes. Known for its continuous rapids and scenic campsites, this trip is suited for rafters who want an authentic wilderness adventure without crowds.
Finally, for something truly unique, the Babai River Fishing Expedition – 7 Days combines rafting with angling. Flowing through Bardia National Park, it is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and fishing lovers. Here, you can try your luck at catching Golden Mahseer and Goonch Catfish while enjoying quiet nights in riverside camps.
These Top 10 rafting packages highlight why Nepal remains one of the world’s most exciting adventure destinations. They offer a wide range of trip lengths (3–13 days), difficulty levels (beginner-friendly to extreme), and experiences (rafting, fishing, culture, wildlife, camping).
