Early morning, we meet you at 06:30 in front of our office at Pokhara. As we collect every one, we have two hours of bus ride to village of Damauli (Put in point).
On the way to the put-in point, the bus stops for a hot cup of tea or coffee. While reaching the put-in point, we unload the gear from the bus. Everyone is welcome to unload the gear. Your small help is a great pleasure to us.
The River Journey is a great escape, and you are part of the team.
At the river we take approx. one and a half hours to set up every gear professionally. Then everyone will be fitted with the life jacket, paddling jacket, & helmet, and the trip leader or safety kayaker gives an extensive lecture about safety and demonstrates the paddling technique.
As we float down from the Madi bridge, narrow, rocky waterways give you confidence in our guides and how they command adventure with an attitude. Most of your time on the river will be scenic floats, exploring the river and enjoying the scenery. We normally stop for lunch on the sandy beach just after an hour of exploration. We prepare the lunch hygienically. After lunch, we explore to the camp side.
The first day provides normally five hours of rafting (depends on the water volume and gradient of the river). We have few kilometers of just gentle floats, playing waves, and great scenery. At the end of the day, we set up the camp near the village of Saranghat.
After setting the camp, you will have a hot cup of tea & coffee with biscuits followed by soup. After that, in your leisure time, you can make your evening enjoyable with the books or you can play with music. Then you will have a dinner.
