Nepal river flows may fluctuate greatly according to the altitude, especially during the monsoons, so do not pitch your tent or sleep in a low place right next to the river.
Use caution and common sense at all times in the out of doors, especially near the river. River currents can be very strong. Be aware that the rocks along water's edge are often slippery.
Small children should wear life jackets and have close adult supervision when in or near the water. Because rocks often lie just below the surface, never dive head first into any river. Instead, ease in feet first. During extreme high flows, stay out of the water.
Do not drink river water. But do stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Be careful to protect yourself from sunburn. Use plenty of waterproof sun cream with a high SPF on exposed skin. However, especially when boating or swimming, don't put sun screen on your forehead or water will wash it down into your eyes. Protect your forehead with a sun hat or visor with a chin strap.
There is an inherent element of risk and danger in all outdoor activities including camping, adventure games and river trips, so you – and your physician – must evaluate your fitness as appropriate for any given trip, game or activity.
Do not leave valuables unattended. In our changing society, no agency would assume responsibility for your possessions left unattended.
Meals: The river outfitter normally provides all meals during the trip days.
Rafting Time: During autumn - mid-September through November, during winter December through February and spring - March through June
If you are taking a trip involving two days or more, carry warm shirts. T-shirts, heavy woolen sweater (warm clothes), extra pair of dry shoes and trousers in addition to the regular items.
