Overview

The Sani Bheri River is one of Western Nepal’s most beautiful and untouched rafting destinations, offering the perfect blend of excitement, culture, and natural beauty. Flowing from the high hills of Rukum, this river journey takes you through lush valleys, pristine forests, and traditional villages.

Starting from Rukumkot, the 3 days on the river feature Class III rapids — fun and splashy, yet safe for first-time rafters and families. Between rapids, the calmer sections allow for swimming, fishing, and simply soaking in the wilderness.

With Karnali Rafting & Adventure Pvt. Ltd., you’ll enjoy professional guiding, top-quality equipment, and delicious camp meals under the stars. The trip ends at Rimna, with onward connections available to Kathmandu or Nepalgunj.

  • Suitable for beginners with moderate fitness.
  • Daily rafting distances may vary depending on water level.
