White Water Rafting In Nepal 2

 For 1.5 hours we paddle our way down the class III+IV rapids, admiring the Annapurna mountain range in the distance and the peaceful, lush surrounds. Although the rapids are less ferocious than post-monsoon, they’re enough to really kick the heart rate into gear.

Our rafting trip ends by passing under a suspension bridge covered in colourful prayer flags, before a quick lunch, celebratory Coke, and a 20 minute drive back to Pokhara.

#15 Go White Water Rafting In Nepal

Unsurprisingly, given the vast mountain ranges and glaciers, Nepal is blessed with raging rivers ready to be rafted, making it one of the most exhilarating things to do in Nepal.

The epicentre for most rafting adventures is Pokhara, where we joined Paddle Nepal on their half-day Upper Seti river white water rafting trip. Just a short drive from Lakeside, the Upper Seti provides a short but sweet adrenaline-filled rafting experience, and before we knew it, we were floating down the glacial river and approaching our first rapid.

Paragliding In Pokhara

 Paragliding flights launch from Sarangkot, about 30 minutes drive from Pokhara. There are three flight times a day, depending on season and weather - 10:30am, 12pm and 2pm. The best flying time is around midday, when the thermals have become active and the flight the most enjoyable.

The 30-minute flight provides an initial adrenaline rush before a surprisingly calm glide back to earth. Floating above Phewa Lake and the surrounding mountains (with views to the Annapurna Range in the distance!) is wonderfully picturesque.
