Must-have summer activities for the family
I participated as a family. My two 7-year-old children seemed to enjoy pouring lots of water over themselves! I would like to participate again. (This review has been machine translated) -
It was fun!
On May 21st, five of us went rafting as a family. The Shisolaputi River was flooded, so the current was fast and the elevation difference was great, which made it very thrilling. Our guide Tara's humor (like imitating the sound of frogs croaking) delighted our daughters, and we had a great time. My daughters seemed to enjoy rafting more than the trail run the next day (although I enjoyed both). Thank you to all the staff. We'd definitely like to go again!

First time rafting ♪
We participated as a couple. My husband's clothing size is 4L, so we searched for a company that had dry suits in that size and found this company. The water temperature was low on the day, so we didn't dive, but there was enough water that we enjoyed going down the river while pouring water over our heads and screaming. The Nepalese guide was very good at steering, and when we applied, we asked for an aggressive course, and he pushed us to the limit just as we wanted. Another point that made us rate it highly was that he didn't try to push us to be too excited to liven things up. We have experience with duckies, which require physical strength, kayaks that anyone can enjoy, and canoes, where you can enjoy nature and leave the steering to the guide in the splashing parts, but rafting was the most exciting! We would like to do it again if we have the opportunity. Thank you ♪ (This review has been machine translated) -

The best~
This was my second time trying rafting! It was so exciting! I was also soothed by the scenery that I rarely see, and I had a very fulfilling time. The course was long, so I really enjoyed it! I would definitely like to try it again next year! (This review has been machine translated)
