MARSHYANGDI
- The
Raging River (5 days)
River Grade 4-5 |
|
All obstacles are blessings of the guru.... A Bhotiya
saying
The Marsyangdi, which means "Raging River" in the local
dialect, is so powerful that we hire the porters to
carry all our gear back down the river, allowing us to
run with empty boats for maximum maneuverability, speed,
and fun. Only in Nepal, with its |
|
|
|
porter traditions, is it possible to run a river like
the Marshyangdi in rafts.
The short trek to the river is stunning, with great views of
the Manaslu and the Annapurnas ahead of you the whole time.
Following the Annapurna circuit we wander through charming
Gurung villages and emerald fields of rice. Children play
excitedly along the trail as we pass, snowcapped Himalayan
giants surround us, and the champagne river churns and
bubbles below. For people who want a longer trip that
combines a great short trek with intense white water, the
Marshyangdi is without a doubt the river to run.
Raft the Raging River while you can as initial work on the
middle dam has commenced at Philesangu. It is sad to say but
in a few short years the Marshyangdi will no longer be free
flowing in the upper reaches.
