When is the best season for rafting and what should you pack?The most popular rafting windows are October to December and February to May, when water is warm enough and the weather is stable.
How do you combine rafting with a Chitwan jungle trip?A popular plan is a one- or two-day raft on the Trishuli or Seti, finishing close to Chitwan, then a jungle stay with safari, canoe rides and walks.
How do you choose a safe rafting operator in Nepal?Choose an operator that is licensed, belongs to the national rafting association and uses trained river guides with first-aid and rescue skills.
