Marsyandi River
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 Marsyandi 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. It is
totally different from the big volume rivers like Sun Kosi and
Karnali, the rapids are technical and require a full commitment
from both crew and guide.
