Learn To Kayak In Nepal!
AdventureX have sussed out the perfect way to learn to kayak – surrounded by outstanding scenery in the gorgeous, warm rivers of Nepal.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who just wants to brush up on their whitewater skills, this trip is perfect.
Situated on the banks of the Trisuli River, the Beach Camp is a superb place to base our first couple of days coaching. From basic strokes, ferry gliding and Eskimo rolls, to reading the rivers and picking your lines, you will have coaching and supervision from BCU qualified instructors based on your ability.
With a couple of single day trips on the Trisuli followed by a Whitewater Safety & Rescue day, we then progress onto 2 fully supervised Multi-days trips. These rivers will allow you to test your new skills and technique and offer a fabulous trip for both beginners and novice paddlers alike. With a chilled beer around the campfire in the evenings, a multitude of stories and we guarantee lots of hilarity – this really will be a trip to remember and the perfect introduction to whitewater kayaking!

Day 1
Arrive in Kathmandu. You will be met by an AdventureX Guide and escorted to your hotel. Time to relax and change and then we’ll head off to one of the many fine restaurants.
(No meals included)
Day 2
After a hearty breakfast we will transfer to the Beach Camp perched on the banks of the Trisuli River. This is an amazing set-up with a beach, volleyball pitch, bar and showers on the riverside. In the afternoon we will kit out the kayaks and introduce you to the Trisuli River. Our BCU qualified instructors will guide you according to your level.
(All meals included)
Day 3
Today we drive 10km upstream and kayak down the Trisuli back to the Beach camp. With a few small rapids, this stretch of water allows us to develop and progress our kayaking skills. You also have the chance to learn and practice Eskimo rolls.
(All meals included)
Day 4
We paddle the 10km section downstream from camp today. This section is like a giant wave train ‘buffeting’ you along. With 3 main rapids including the lovely ‘Ladies Delight’, your skills will be tested and we guarantee you’ll have a fantastic and very rewarding day kayaking. Head back to Beach Camp.
(All meals included)
Day 5
Whitewater Rescue Day. From rope work, rescue and swimming, you will learn all the required elements by BCU qualified instructors to give you full confidence in whitewater.
(All meals included)
Day 6
We board transport and set off for our 4 day river journey on the Budi Ghandaki. We reach the put-in and set up camp.
(All meals included)
Days 7 - 8
This morning we take to the water, scouting and running the rapids, all the time becoming more confident with our kayaks. The gentle flow of the Budi Ghandaki is interspersed with some great rapids making it an ideal place to work on our river reading and running skills. We drift the flatter sections, taking in the amazing surroundings and magnificent views of the Langtang mountain range.
Nights are spent camping on beautiful riverside sandy beaches, relaxing around a campfire as we enjoy a cold beer or two!
(All meals included)
Days 9
Our last day paddling the Budi Gandaki River. We transfer back to the Beach Camp and then onto Pokhara for the evening for a well-deserved rest!
(Evening meal excluded)
Day 10
Free time in Pokhara for sight seeing, shopping or sitting by the lakeside in the sunshine. Pokhara is a beautiful town with a multitude of experiences and an endless array of shops selling ‘branded’ fleeces and the occasional decorated sacred cow walking past! Definitely an enjoyable day off.
(All meals included)
Days 11 - 13
We head for Damauli to the put in for the Seti Khola. The Seti is a really warm low volume grade III+ river – different in character to the Budi Ghandaki. We travel down the river camping on its beaches in the evenings until we reach our ‘get out’ at the confluence with the Trisuli River. Back to Beach Camp.
(All meals included)
Day 14
This is your big day – the chance to put together all the skills that you have learnt, and paddle some of the big rapids of the Trisuli River. This 18km section will take us over ‘Ladies Delight’ (which will by now be an absolute breeze!), through ‘Upset’ rapid and ‘Surprise’ before our take out at Brigends Bend/Manakamana. Transport back to Kathmandu for our final night and a celebratory meal and drink together.
(Evening meal excluded)
Day 15
After a rather leisurely breakfast we take you back to the airport for your return flight home.
