Marshyangdi River Rafting
Marsyangdi means "Raging River" in the local dialect. The Marsyangdi River is one of the most outstanding grade IV Kayaking Rivers in the world. Continuous, exhilarating white-water with magnificent mountain backdrops and drains the northern slope of the Annapurna Himal. It flows east through an arid valley around Manang and then swings south to join the Trisuli River at Mugling.
The Marshyangdi is a photographer's dream- the water is usually a clear turquoise blue; there are these huge, fantastically sculptured boulders, some spectacular white wet, green valley sides, and a magnificent backdrop of the World's highest mountains. Marshyangdi River Rafting is totally different from the big volume rivers like Sun Koshi River and Karnali River, the rapids are technical and require a full commitment from both crew and guide.
