More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of a Kathmandu guesthouse into a humid morning, the city's temple bells still ringing as your minibus slides through terraced fields toward the river. By midday the Trisuli broadens, water racing over smooth boulders that dare you to hop in; by evening you'll be listening for gharial splashes at a riverside lodge before sleep arrives like a warm blanket.
