Marshyangdi

One of the best class 4 white-water rivers in the world – continuous, exhilarating whitewater with magnificent mountain backdrops. Recommended for expert kayakers.

The Marshyangdi rises on the northern slope of the Annapurna massif and joins the Trisuli. Marshyangdi means ‘raging river’ in local dialect, and this aptly describes it.

The scenery is magnificent, with every bend of the river opening fresh vistas of some of the world’s highest mountains. Although the valley has got a road up it, and is quite densely populated, you don’t see this when you are paddling because the river is incised about 40 meters into the valley floor.

Rafting:
A fantastic, exhilarating run. One rapid lead straight into another with steep drops, huge undercut boulders, a powerful current and lots of technical and fast maneuvering required. This is a serious and challenging trip and you should have previous Rafting experience.

Kayaking:
Most world-class kayakers will describe the Marshyangdi as one of the best white water trips in the World. Be aware that it will have continuous and long stretches of class 4 water.
