This trip is as unique as Nepal itself, a journey that blends rich cultural and natural diversity with pure adventure. We experience it all, from the Indian plains to towering Himalayan peaks, following the story of the Trishuli River as it flows from sacred high-mountain lakes to the lush jungles of the lowlands.
We kick things off with an exciting rafting adventure on the mighty Trishuli, riding its wild rapids and camping riverside under the stars.

Here we also see Trishuli river Mixing with the Narayani and head towards india to mix in the Ganga River System.
From the plains, we ascend to the breathtaking Gosaikunda Circuit Trek, trekking through stunning Himalayan landscape to cross the iconic Laurebina Pass (4,610m) and visit the sacred Gosaikunda Lake, the source of the Trishuli River.
