River
Rafting is journeying on torrential river on
an inflatable rubber boat. A river trip is
an adventure but not always. An amateur and
experienced rafter can equally enjoy it. A
river trip also provides the opportunity for
geological surveys and fishing. You are
provided with whitewater life-vest to put on
all the time while on the river.
You are also provided with a helmet, all
camping equipment and meals and a trained
professional river guide heads the rafting
team.
In a country like Nepal, a river trip is one
of the best ways to explore a typical cross
section of the country’s natural as well as
ethno-cultural heritage. The river is
regarded as a form of goddess and is used
for the purpose of various religious rituals
such as cremation under both Hinduism and
Buddhism. A variety of cultural activities
can be witnessed being performed along the
river. The adjoining slopes of the river
often harbor dense vegetation and
interesting wildlife. |
