Bheri River Adventure - Nepal
The Bheri River flows west in Nepal before to its confluence with the Karnali River and offers a scenic journey as we navigate downstream by kayak and raft. With a great mix of remote wilderness and friendly villages along its path we get to experience both nature and its local cultures. The river grading is class 2-3+ and offers many fun rapids to explore for intermidiate paddlers but still engaging for the experienced.

The Bheri River 2/3+
The Bheri River offers one of the most scenic journeys through a variety of jungle clad foothills, golden cliffs and white beaches. There is an abundance of wild life, great birdwatching and fishing opportunities. The river has a continuous flow so once can drift along taking in the scenery between the many raids along the way.
The river grading is class 2/ 3+ , similar in nature to the Trishuli River but with more variety and much more remote. Although remote, particularly in the gorge sections, we paddle by a number of settlements where we will meet villagers who are often fishing or washing clothes in the river.
The river is in the west of Nepal and is reached either by road over 2 days or by an internal flight and a shorter road journey and can be complimented with a stay at the Bardiya National Park so a few options are available with this trip.
Kayaking:
This trip is perfect for the intermediate paddler looking for a relaxing yet engaging river journey and will still keep the experienced on their game. Beginer kayakers will be more suited to one of our Kayak School trips
Rafting:
No Experience needed here, just to be comfortable swimming in moving water and happy to get wet!

On the 10h day the ladscape widens as we confluence with the Karnali river where its time to kick back and relax as we float downriver. There are still a number of rapids to keep us on our toes here but the river is much wider and has slower flows until we reach the final gorge before our take out at Chisiapni, where we will find our transport awaits.
