1 DAY TRIP MUGLING-JUGEDI
From this point, we will be driving on the Prithivi Highway-200km that links Pokhara with Kathmandu. Built by the Chinese in late 60’s – the road runs all the way along river trail (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.
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
We commence our trip from the bottom of @PIN BALL RAPID@ at Mugling confluence. 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@. While continue with our floating – we now reach SIMALTAL. On the way we see local inhabitants crossing the river on log-raft with food supplies from town. After this destination too, we encounter quite a number of rapids like @RAMBO RAPID@, immediately followed by @EAST WEST RAPIDS@. |

We leave Kathmandu by 7am in the morning and drive the highway through Thankot, where there is a police check post. 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 backcountry 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 the Ganesh Himal, Manslu and Himalchuli, are the best to name a few. We stop at Naubise (26km) for few minutes and stretch our legs for further drive.
We will be having lunch on a well selected spot and relax for some fun and enjoyment. It is again a time to go back to the river. While continuing with our floating we will cross the SETI RIVER CONFLUENCE enroute – this scenic stretched float will encounter you with @COFFEE POT WHIRLPOOL. Now you notice that the river becomes wider and dramatic changes on the topographic feature and the vegetation. Finally, in the late afternoon, drifting leisurely, finally we shall be reaching JUGEDI. I.E. RAFT – PUT-OUT-POINT of the day.
