Rafting the Rivers of Nepal with Kora Tours

Rafting in Nepal offers travelers a way to see the country from its lifelines—the rivers that flow from the Himalayas down to the plains. Each river tells a different story: some are calm and meandering, others fast and technical. Along the way, rafters see villages, farmlands, and forests from a perspective most visitors never get to experience. Life on the riverbank unfolds naturally—children playing, fishermen casting nets, or herders moving their animals across rope bridges.

With Kora Tours, every rafting trip is designed around safety, comfort, and choice. Certified guides manage all details, including equipment, transport, and meals, so the focus stays on the water and the scenery. Options range from a short and easy float on the Seti or Trishuli (Grades II–III), to a day of adrenaline on the Bhote Koshi (Grade IV–V), to extended expeditions on the Sun Koshi or Karnali that combine rafting with camping under the stars.

These trips welcome a wide range of travelers: families can enjoy gentler rivers, while thrill-seekers take on demanding rapids. Multi-day journeys are especially rewarding, offering both challenging waters and peaceful stretches where nature feels untouched.
