| General Information |
| The Trisuli River is Nepal's most popular
rafting river. Impressive gorges, exciting rapids, some easier sections, and easily
accessible from Kathmandu and Pokhara. Recommended for intermediate kayakers and those
wanting a cheap white water trip. |
| Not far from the source the Trisuli joins
the Bhote Kosi that flows from Tibet. The two rivers joining in some pretty fearsome
looking gorges that are visible on the way up to the Langtang Trek. The Buri river, the
Marsyandi and the Seti river ads to its flow. |
| When the Kali Gandaki joins it, shortly
before the plains, it changes its name to the Narayani. Here, it is a truly mighty river,
peak flows in the Monsoon have been measured at 25,700 cusec (extreme, instantaneous
discharge) about 900,000 cubic feet per second or fifty times the typical flow of
Colorado river through the Grand Canyon. |
