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.
