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.
