Nepal Rafting and Kayaking

New to rafting or kayaking ? try a half day, see how you like it. We offer tasters as well as multi day expeditions for rafting and kayaking.

Nepal has earned the reputation of being one of the best places in the world for rafting and kayaking. Its mountain scenery has drawn trekkers and climbers for many years; these same mountains shape an incredible variety of white water challenges. A series of the world's most outstanding river journeys are to be found in Nepal, ranging from steep adrenaline charged mountain streams to classic big volume wilderness expeditions. The combination of spectacular rivers, mountain scenery and a rich cultural heritage makes Nepal an obvious river runner's destination. No other country has such a choice of trips on wild rivers with warm water, a subtropical climate (with no bugs or mozzies !), and huge white sand beaches that are ideal for camping.

Our team has been leading the way in rafting and kayaking expeditions in Nepal for over a decade. Our river journeys are a unique experience - relaxing and exhilarating, inspirational and challenging. A chance to venture into a world few people know exists and gain a unique insight into the pristine, seldom visited areas as well as experiencing the friendliness of the Nepali people.

We are using state of the art equipment and only the most experienced professional western and Nepali guides. With over 100 companies rafting in Nepal, how do you choose an outfitter ? Muir's Tours and the team will not let you down. For a river journey you will never forget, raft Nepal.
