The Marsyangdi River flows east through an arid valley around Manang and swings to the south of the Trisuli River at Mugling. Marshyangdi river, ‘raging river’ in local dialect, is one of the most outstanding grade IV Kayaking Rivers in the world and an ideal choice for those wanting an intense and extreme rafting trip and is better suited to those who have had previous rafting experience. The river rages through narrow gorges and canyons and gets past the spectacular Annapurna Mountains. Opened in 1996 for commercial rafting, this river demands the strongest commitment from both crew and guide for conquering the ultimate challenge.

Since it is totally different from the big volume rivers like Sun Kosi and Karnali, the rapids are technical and require a very different approach. Continuous exhilarating white-water with magnificent mountain backdrops drains the northern slope of the Mt. Annapurna gives a splendid look from the boat and making Marshyandi a world-class whitewater river for rafting. The challenging grade 4 to 5- rapids begin on day one and are practically continuous to the take-out point, with steep, technical and thrilling rides through Himalayan scenery. Our experienced guide and well-trained kayaker with vast knowledge of the area will make your adventurous dreams come true. The half-day trek is a plus point to the uniqueness of this journey.
