One of the most outstanding class
4 rafting rivers in the world. Continuous, exhilarating white
water with magnificent mountain backdrops. Recommended for experts
kayakers and rafters from Bhote Odar on.
The Marshyangdi river rises on the northern slopes of the Annapurna
Himal, flows east through an arid valley around Manang, and
then swings south to join the Trisuli river at Mugling.
