This river demands 100% Commitment from both crew and guide. It is totally different from the big volume rivers like the Sun Koshi. And Karnali, the rapids are technical and require a very different approach.

With continuous, very challenging &committing adventure it makes for an incredible trip. Marshyangdi with steep & thrilling ride is a river that demands respect.
