Ultimate Multi-River Kayak Expedition - Nepal
This trip is one of our favourites – Nepal’s finest rivers crammed into one spectacular kayak trip. Starting with the Trisuli, and including the likes of the Madi Khola, Kali Gandaki, Balephi and Bhote Kosi there is a superb progressive range of grades and challenges. With their own personalities each river will challenge and test you, making it a very rewarding and fulfilling trip. With ample chance to soak up the Nepalese culture on the way and finish the trip relaxing in the hilltops of the Last Resort, this expedition will definitely be one to remember!
As with all of our trips this expedition can be customised to suit your requirements – so if you want different rivers, dates, or a shorter itinerary, just let us know.
Though predominantly a trip for kayakers, this adventure is also open to rafters.

Arrive in Kathmandu. You will be met by an AdventureX Guide and then taken to your hotel for the evening. Hot shower then out to one of the many local fine restaurants.
(No meals included)
Day 2
Have the day to explore the amazing city of Kathmandu. Grab a taxi or rickshaw to visit some of the incredible temples and squares that make up this most vibrant of capitals. At 6pm we will have a pre-departure briefing then head off for a meal together. (Breakfast included)
Day 3
Private bus transfer to the Trisuli river. Kayak the Trisuli (grade III/III+) and overnight in safari style camp at Brigands Bend. A good safe introduction to big water and Himalayan rivers. 'Upset' rapid will have some people testing their rolling technique!

Complete the Trisuli, finishing the day on the 'Pin Ball' rapid. Transfer to and overnight in Pokhara.
(Evening meal in Pokhara excluded)

We load up the bus again and head to the Madi Khola (grade IV). After a short trek, with porters carrying all the equipment, we paddle some great whitewater down to our evening camp at Bhaise.

Day 6
Paddle the Madi Khola to Karputar. Eddy-hopping heaven with very few portages and awesome views of the Himalayan mountains.
(All meals included)
Day 7
Today it’s a fairly gentle class two paddle down to Damauli. Time to play and enjoy the gorgeous valley scenery. Return to Pokhara for early evening.
(Meal in Pokhara excluded)
Day 8
Free time in Pokhara for sight seeing, shopping or sitting by the lakeside in the sunshine with a cold drink.
(No meals included)

(All meals included)
Days 10 & 11
More brilliant whitewater and more playing. We have a lot of spare time on this trip so it can be used to maximum effect by taking every play opportunity there is.
(All meals included)

Paddle down to the take out at the new dam then transfer back to Pokhara for the night.
(Evening meal in Pokhara excluded)

An early breakfast before our bus heads east to the Upper Sun Kosi (grade III+), giving great views of the snow-capped mountains along the way. We spend the night at the quiet Riverside Resort.
(All meals included)
Day 15
The Balephi (grade III+) is a great fun, low volume river that makes a change from the large volume rivers paddled so far. After the river we head up to the Last Resort, and a chance to enjoy a sauna to help ease those aches and pains.
(All meals included)
Day 16
Today it's kayaking at it's very best - the Bhote Kosi (grade IV+/V)! This is a much more intense and demanding river, and will be a good test of your previous two weeks paddling skills. We'll be enjoying a well earned beer back at the Last Resort after this one!
(All meals included)
Day 17
After a lazy morning it's back to the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu.
(Breakfast included)

After a rather leisurely breakfast we take you back to the airport for your return flight to Kathmandu.
