7:00 AM pickup at customer hotel and transfer to tourist bus station then drive to Charaudi, the put-in point. After 3 hours drive, Charaudi is reached where a crowd of friendly local people eagerly wait to watch the proceedings.10: 00 AM The sight of foreigners all geared up for rafting fascinates them. The crew prepares the rafts, after which all head towards the river for safety talk and lessons on how to use paddles. A number of Class I to Class III rapids are encountered. Ratings are all given on the international rating scale. Two hours down the river is a beach with strange shaped boulders that resemble sculptures and this is the lunch spot.12:00 PM Outdoor lunch by the river is always an enchanting experience. It also gives everyone a break from paddling and time to take in the scenery. Paddling down after lunch, a large gorge is encountered, the Trishuli gorge, which is narrow and the walls very steep causing the river to accelerate through it. Naturally the rapids here are more ferocious and also more frequent. 15:00 PM In the afternoon drive back to Kathmandu (included) or continue journey to Chitwan or Pokhara (local transportation will be advised by rafting guide).
