The Marsyangdi Valley, in north-west part of Nepal, is very famous for its natural beauties, breathtaking panorama and, among the extreme sport fun's community, for its hot destination for adrenaline junkies! Canyoning here is not just abseil, slide, jump or swim but make all these in one of the deepest gorges in the earth!

The Chamje Khola canyon, situated just in the border-line between the great Annapurna II with its elevation of 8091 m/26545 ft height and the Manaslu Peak at 8156 m/26759 ft (ranked worldwide 10th and 8th respectively), rightfully belongs among the most spectacular and challenging gorges in the world.

Canyoning in Marshyangdi valley is very demanding even before reaching the starting point of the canyon.  After three days trek, Chamje Khola lies just in your feet ready to be explored and to offer you a truly unique life experience.

Marshyangdi river flows for 150 km/93.2 mi long, starting from Annapurna glacier at 3600 m/11811 ft, before joining with Trishuli river. The water temperature here drops to 7°C/44.6°F and the powerful mass of water of the waterfalls requires very good physical conditions and a skillful handling. Till 2005, it was just the lower part of the Canyon which was accessible. It was only in 2011 when the first attempts to explore the upper part of the Canyon have taken place.

The Chamje Khola has only one get away track and you can move only forwards! Till the very end of this emotional and exciting journey, Chamje Khola doesn’t put an end to your challenge! A 140 m/459.3 ft high waterfall is the last step before leaving behind you this gorgeous and pristine Canyon!!

Trisuli River Rafting is one of Nepal’s most popular river trips, ideal for everyone, from the most experienced kayaker to the first time rafter. It is also our home as we have built our fixed riverside camp.

It’s an ideal year round river (even during monsoon) just a stones throw away from Kathmandu providing a pool drop style of big volume river. This rafting trip will quench the white water desire of travelers with limited time in Nepal.

This trip leaves plenty of time to play rafting games, do some cliff jumps, swim, chill out and soak up the surreal atmosphere of Nepal’s River life. It conveniently ends at our tented river side camp, Gurung Valley. Why not extend your trip and enjoy a night at our 1 million star hotel and soak up as much river life as you can! Get off the bus and on the river!
Join us for some monsoon rafting to see how fierce this river can really get!

Whitewater Rafting: No previous experience needed to join a rafting trip on the Trisuli. Great for the first timer and families.
Kayaking: A fantastic warm up river for those going on to the bigger rivers in Nepal. Plenty of small rapids and a few challenging ones. The river is ideal for first time kayakers wanting to learn a thing or two about whitewater.

"G.R.G's Adventure Kayaking 4"

The best DAY TRIP in Nepal. Abseiling down awesome waterfalls!!! Jalberi Canyon is the best canyoning spot in Nepal and the canyoning site is in a small village called Jalberi, offering great day trips from Kathmandu, Chitwan or Pokhara or a great addition to your kayaking or rafting trip on the Trisuli. No previous experience needed to join as we can teach you everything you need to know and have all the right equipment and expertise to keep you safe and show you a great time. All you need is good attitude and sense of adventure!

Trip departs from Kathmandu at 6.30am almost all year round (arrangements can be made from Pokhara or Chitwan on request and we take a short break during the monsoon months when the water is too high).

Once we get there, we will change at a small house at the bottom of the hill. There will be time for a quick cup of tea before a 20 min hike to the top where you will be greeted with a 100m waterfall, one of the most beautiful places in Nepal. Whilst your guides get all the equipment ready, you’ll have time for a photo opportunity under the epic waterfall or a quick dip in some of the natural pools. You will then be provided with a harness, life jacket and helmet and after a comprehensive safety briefing we’ll start teaching you how to climb and abseil and we are ready to go…

The trip starts with a jump into the canyon, it will get your heart beating right from the very beginning!
The largest waterfall we run is around 26 m. Sometimes we slide and sometimes we jump directly into the clear pools. After around 3 1/2 hours of adrenaline fueled fun we’ll stop for a picnic lunch in the canyon before we drive back to Kathmandu, Chitwan or Pokhara or if you prefer, come and spend a great night at our Trisuli River Camp, Gurung Valley. A trip definitely not to be missed!!!

"G.R.G's Adventure Kayaking 5"

Itinerary: Depart Kathmandu at 6.30am and travel to 3 ½ hours to our camp. Once arriving, we will have a stop of lunch and get to know the staff. After you will be given your equipment and shown how to use it and after a briefing on land we hit the water. We will then spend the afternoon on a flat section of the river just outside the camp, which is more like a lake than a river – just perfect for beginners. We will spend time getting used to being in a kayak, how it feels and learning how to cross the river, building your confidence as we go.

Depending on how you improve, if there is time, we will paddle 7km down the river to Manakamana. Here you will encounter some gentle wave trains and Grade II rapids.

You’ll spend the evening enjoying a campfire at the camp. Stories round the fire and traditional music are on the menu for tonight!
