Name of this river, Trishuli, followed from a famous pilgrimage place Gosaikunda which lies high in the Himalaya. High in the Himalaya at Gosainkund the god Shiva drove his trident into the rocky mountain to create three springs –the source of the river and hence its name Trishuli. The river has fixed some truly impressive gorges in its lower part as it cut its way through the 2000 meters high Mahavarat Range.
For many people this river represents the ideal rafting trip just the right length of time, exciting rapid, but not too difficult, easily reachable from Kathmandu. Certainly Trishuli River rafting is the ideal trip if you are looking for more of a ‘wilderness’ experience unsullied beaches and un-spoilt scenery. The rapid on Trisuli are mainly big, bouncy and relatively safe; ‘flips’ (where the raft capsizes) or other accidents are rare in normal water condition, and if you wish, it is possible to walk around the few difficult rapid. Since the highway follows the river, you can easily come back to Kathmandu in few hours after completion of the Trishuli River rafting trip.

Day 01: Departure From Kathmandu - Tent Camping in Trishuli River bank
We leave Kathmandu at about 0700 Hours and drive approximately 2.5 hrs. to Charaundi, our put-in point. After the crew assembles the raft, they will explain the safety equipment and proper procedures.
During the day, we run a numbers of rapids, that rate to 2 to 3. All the rapids have been given Nepali and English names: Mosaic Adventure guide can relate the story behind each one.
We lunch on a beach remarkable for its unique sculptured boulders. Shortly after lunch, we enter the Trishuli gorge. As the canyon narrows the walls becomes steep, densely, forested, the current accelerates and the rapids increase in the size and frequency. This is the time to hang on.
After such a stimulating experience, it is humbling to see a Majhi (Fisherman) building his precarious traps in such turbulence. Our last rapid, Jholungepul, named for an extensive suspension bridge. Here we often encounter an enthusiastic audience, they line the bridge excited to see us pass beneath. The geologic formations are tremendously interesting and not worthy. We camp at Kurintar on wildness beach on the Trishuli Valley. Everyone is welcome to help our crew with camp chores. Once the tents are pitched a savoury dinner will be prepare over stoves and singing, dancing and playing the Games.
Day 02: Short rafting - Back to Kathmandu
Our second day has a leisurely pace. After Breakfast, we continue down the Trishuli stopping to suit our interests. We spend the whole day within its forested canyon- one of the many in the Mahabharat range. We eat lunch beside the river and have time to explore birdwatch, photograph and learn about the local people. The area is inhabited by Magars and Gurung farmers, noted for their friendliness and charm and we have an opportunity for visiting a Vieira and we end our River trip and drive back to either Kathmandu, Pokhara or Chitwan.
