A morning mist lifts off the Trishuli as the raft slides into the current; the river immediately takes charge, nudging paddles and attention toward the next rapid. Trees lean close along the banks and limestone gorges appear and recede, giving way to wide pools where the crew catches its breath and the guide points out a narrow chute ahead.

Secure footwear
Wear closed water shoes or sturdy sandals with straps—rocks on shore and in the raft are slippery and flip-flops can come off easily.
Hydrate and fuel
Bring water and a light carb-rich snack before boarding; you’ll expend energy in bursts during the rapids even if lunch is provided.
Follow the guide
Listen to paddle commands and brace instructions—safety depends on timing and teamwork more than strength.
Protect from sun and spray
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a brimmed hat or buff—reflection off water amplifies sun exposure even on cool days.
Quick-dry clothing
Dries fast after spray and keeps you comfortable throughout the day.
Secure water shoes

Dry bag (small)
