1: At around 7 am, we drive to the put-in point
at Beni. Throughout this drive we have stunning views
of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peaks as well as the
sacred Machapuchare. Upon arrival, we unload all the
equipment and you will receive a full safety briefing.
Have lunch and then the guide will take you to the river
starting point ready to begin your exciting 3 days rafting
trip. First day we begin with plenty of class III rapids
this is a warm up for the team. Your guide will be making
you work hard at doing exercises to work as a team maneuvering
the raft efficiently. After scouting the rapid, the
safety kayaks will go first then the raft. Soon after
encountering two big rapids we will reach the Modi Khola
confluence where we will choose the beach for the evening
campsite.
DAY
2: Once the rafts are packed we start down
the river for a day mixed with adrenaline, calm and
spectacular scenery including views of Annapurnna 1
and Himachuli. We will tackle many class III sections
and the challenging class IV named REFUND. This section
of river is abundant with vines and lush vegetation
hanging from the cliff faces. Our campsite is below
the village of Purti Ghat.
DAY
3: Soon after being back on the water we reach
the holy village of Seti Beni. The river has deposited
a house size boulder in the confluence with a smaller
tributary. Since confluence is considered holy places
in the Hindu religion, this boulder has become an important
shrine to the local river people. There is usually a
great audience to watch and listen to the spectacle
as each team negotiates the rapid that has formed around
this holy place. Not long after this it is time for
the journey to end. Our bus will be waiting for us.
We load up the gear and prepare for the bus journey
back to Pokhara. |
