The Raging River: Marshyangdi, 3 days, Class IV – V, Cost US$ 195

"Raging River" in the local dialect and this aptly describes one of the best whitewater runs in the world. We trek through charming Gurung Villages
and emerald fields to Ngadi. Children play excitedly as we pass, snow – capped Himalayan giants surround us and the champagne river churns and
bubbles below. Few rivers rival this for exhilarating whitewater, and sustained sections of steep technical rafting test out teamwork.
