River
Rafting is journeying on torrential river on an inflatable rubber
boat. A river trip is an adventure but not always. An amateur
and experienced rafter can equally enjoy it. A river trip also provides
the opportunity for geological surveys and fishing. You are provided
with whitewater life-vest to put on all the time while on the river.
You are also provided with a helmet, all camping equipment and meals
and a trained professional river guide heads the rafting team.
In a country like Nepal, a river trip is one of the best ways to
explore a typical cross section of the country’s natural as well
as ethno-cultural heritage. The river is regarded as a form of goddess
and is used for the purpose of various religious rituals such as
cremation under both Hinduism and Buddhism. A variety of cultural
activities can be witnessed being performed along the river. The
adjoining slopes of the river often harbor dense vegetation and
interesting wildlife.
