Trishuli River Rafting is one of the most popular rafting activities in Nepal. Trishuli is a tributary of the Narayani River and is easily accessible from both Kathmandu and Pokhara. Notably, the river’s name comes from the trident of Lord Shiva, and Hindus believe that the trident’s power made the river. Trishuli joins the Narayani River at Devghat and the Ganges in India.
