1 NIGHT 2 DAYS TRIP FISHLING –JUGEDI – SCENIC WHITE WATER

Day 1:
FISHLING/ SIMALTAL

We leave Kathmandu by 7 a.m. in the morning and drive the highway through Thankot, where there is a police checkpost. While clearing the formalities required by the police checkpost – we will be greeted by hawkers with arrys of chewing gums and biscuits. Then we drive out of the valley and enter Khani Khola. The valley offers a panoramic view of a back country with terraced fields, rich greenery and thatched houses with smiling children, weaving hands. On a clear morning, we can enjoy the white capped mountain chains in distance, of these are Ganesh Himal; Manalslu and Himalchuli are the best to name a few. We stop at Naubise (26 kilometres) for few minutes and stretch our legs for further drive.

From this point, we will be driving on the Prithivi Highway – at 200 kilometres which links Pokhara with Kathmandu. Built by the Chinese in late 60’s – the road runs all the way along river trial (Trisuli) passing a number of villages enroute. After 2 and half hours drive we reach BHAIRENI where we catch the first sight of river TRISULI. The river , where we are going to float later on. We continue to drive following the river until we finally stop at FISHLING. This is our raft-put-in point.

The river Trisuli derives its name from the word Trisul the trident of Lord Shiva. It drains down from Langtang glaciers in the Himalayas flowing past the township of Trisuli Bazzar in the northern region of Kathmandu valley. It acts as one of the vital tributaries of river Narayani, which is being the largest in Central Nepal. Eventually, it merges with river Ganges in India.

After the raft is properly rigged, the River Guide (acting as a trip leader) will highlight the Safety Procedures and hand over life jackets, paddle, Oar (Oar specially when there is a family trip with children) to all participants. Throughout the trip, we will be encountering several big and small rapids. After enjoying the thrills of @BIJULI Rapid@, which is the most interesting rapid of the day – you stop for lunch by the side of river beach. We continue our journey on the river after having a relaxing lunch at the beach. There are many medium standard Rapids and excitements throughout the float by meeting @S BEND Rapids@.The guide will allocate the spot, free of obstacles – should anyone wish to swim during the tenure of this portion float.

We will continue floating on @Pin Ball Rapid@ at Munling confluence. It is quite tricky with big boulders in the middle of the river but will pass without any problem. Now we find ourselves floating between deep gorge with scores of Blue Rock pigeons on the way. Drifting leisurely we reach an expanded beach, at the foot of the forest, called Maya Beach. We continue to float shooting through rapids called @Double Decker @ T Pot@. On the way we see local inhabitants crossing the river on log-raft with food supplies from town – we now reach Simaltal, a well expanded beach for overnight camping.

Day 2
SIMALTAL/JUGEDI

The day starts with bed tea at 6:30 am and breakfast to follow at 8am. The camp will be pulled down and everything packed up and it is now again time to go back on the river. As soon as we cross the Seti River Confluence enroute – this scenic stretched float will encounter you with @East West Rapid & @Coffee Pot Whirlpool@ rapid respectively. Now you notice that the river becomes wider and dramiatic changes on the topographic feature and the vegetation. Late in the afternoon, driffting leisurely finally we shall be reaching Jugedi. This is our raft-put-point. Swimming can be done here provided the life jacket is on all the time.

For your information, the river rating is based on the Grand Canyon Colorado River scale 1-8 ( 1 being the easiest and 8 the most difficult). Also, all these rapids have their individual names, and the River Guide gives you the related stories behind them. (So go for it).
