The currents of the river are primly suited for the several water front activities including the popular river rafting. There are scores of rafting beaches that are manifested by the artificial beaches and basic infrastructure developed and maintained by the respective rafting companies.
As a suggestion, it is highly recommended to take the river rafting exercise en-route. These are coupled with excellent rapids, clean shores and inexpensive tour costs.
(The lush green settings and playful river currents like below are as inviting as rafting itself !)

- There are a very few options to travel overnight between the cities, so for all practical reasons, one needs to travel during the day time. (Trust me with the type of landscapes on the offer, you won’t complain a slightest bit)
- There are no road lights, no hill dividers across the entire highway!
- Count 7 + hours for the journey. That takes in count the odd travel jams.
- Hitchhiking is possible and would be fun on the way!
- There are a many places to hang around.
- A group of 7-8 people may come pool together to hire the local favorite, ‘Hi Ace’. There is a substantial cost to be saved on the local sightseeing in Pokhara, that at times, may get exorbitant !
- The route across Kathmandu and Pokhara is also a common place for some arterial detours to major cities including those in the Terai region.
- Rafting is a seasonal activity and depends on the rapids and the temperature of the water.
- Update on Earthquake 2015 : The effect of earthquake in 2015 did not to seem to have a bearing as in March 2016. Most of the roads were in pretty good shape.
