Marshyangdi River Rafting

It flows east through an arid valley around Manang, and then swings south to join the Trishuli river at Mungling. One of the most outstanding class-5 rafting and kayaking river in the world. It is used to say that Marshyangdi is the raging river in Nepal and describes one of the best whitewater runs in the world. it offers some breath taking scenery combining with glorious views and its fascinating natural surrounding and typical culture.
