FAQs
Yes, rafting and kayaking with the Nepal River Runner are very safe. Your safety is our first priority. We use high-quality international-standard equipment, have a team of experienced, certified river guides, and follow strict safety protocols on every trip. Furthermore, before you get on the water, we give a full safety briefing and practice essential commands so you feel confident and prepared.
No, you do not need strong swimming skills to join our beginner and family-friendly rafting trips like Lower Bhotekoshi, Trishuli and Seti (Grade II-III). We provide certified life jackets and helmets, and our experienced guides give a full safety briefing before the trip. We also choose rivers and sections that are suitable for first-time rafters and non-swimmers.
For advanced kayaking courses and high-volume white-water expeditions, such as the Sun Koshi, Tamur, Karnali, and Marsyangdi, we recommend that you are comfortable in the water and have some prior rafting or swimming experience, so we can keep the trip safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Most of our trips are designed for ordinary, active people with no previous rafting experience. If you have no serious medical conditions, you can raft with us. We match rivers and rapids to your experience level, from easy, family-friendly runs to more challenging white-water for adventure seekers.
Kids aged 8 and above can join family-friendly rivers alongside an adult. For high-volume Class IV-V trips, paddlers must be at least 14 to 16 years old depending on water flow. We have no upper age limit for healthy adults. As long as you are mobile and fit, you are welcome aboard. That said, share any medical history with us ahead of time so we can choose the safest section for you.
We run rafting and kayaking trips on several of Nepal’s rivers, including Trishuli, Lower Bhote Koshi, Seti, Sun Koshi, Balephi, Tamur, and others. Each river offers a different experience, with rapids ranging from gentle Class II–III sections that are ideal for beginners and families to more challenging Class IV–V rapids for experienced rafters.
If you’re not sure which river is right for you, our team will recommend the best option based on your rafting experience, fitness level, available time, and the type of adventure you’re looking for.
Our rafting and kayaking packages typically include round-trip transport from the meeting point to the river, professional guides, all rafting equipment (boats, kayaks, helmets, paddles, PFDs, dry bags, and Pelican boxes), safety gear, and river permits. For day trips, meals are provided as mentioned in the itinerary. For multi-day expeditions, the package also includes camping equipment, accommodation in camps, and all meals throughout the trip. Each trip has its own inclusions and exclusions, which are clearly listed before booking so you know exactly what is covered.
For a day rafting trip, wear quick-drying clothes, secure sandals or river shoes, and avoid cotton. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap, a reusable water bottle, a small towel, and dry clothes for after the trip.
For a multi-day river expedition, bring everything you would for a day trip, plus extra quick-dry clothing, warm layers, toiletries, a headlamp, personal medications, a power bank, and comfortable camp shoes. We provide all rafting equipment, safety gear, camping equipment, and meals, so you don’t have to pack those.
Yes, we offer photos and videos of the trip. Our team captures photos and short videos so you can remember your adventure. The best part is that these are included in the trip price whenever the service is available.
The main rafting seasons in Nepal are from September to early December and from March to early June, when river levels and weather conditions are ideal. During these months, you can expect warm days, good water flows, and reliable trips. Some rivers may be possible outside these windows, but we always check conditions carefully and advise you on the safest and most enjoyable options.
You can book by contacting us directly through our website, email, phone, or by visiting our office. Once we confirm your dates and availability, we’ll guide you through the payment process and any necessary details. For peak seasons and weekends, we recommend booking at least a few days to a couple of weeks in advance, especially for groups or multi-day expeditions, to secure your preferred dates.
If you cancel your booking, the booking deposit (30% of the total trip amount) is non-refundable. The cancellation date will be the day we receive your written cancellation request. Once your trip has started, no refunds will be provided for unused services, including transport, accommodation, meals, sightseeing, or other trip inclusions. For complete details, please refer to our Terms and Conditions page.
