RAFTING
 Rafting
consists of going down a river on a boat, the raft. Rafting is a
new sport in Nepal which allows you to visit set back areas of
Nepal. One can meet varieties of landscapes and population as
you travel on the river.The nepalese rivers come from the
Tibetan plateaus to flow into the Indian rivers.
Glacier Safari Treks organise raftings on the Trisuli River, the
Sun Kosi and the Tama Kosi.
