Rafting on the Trisuli River, Nepal




When we went rafting, I found it was so exciting because we were zooming down the rapids. Some had huge rooster tails and we got splashed all over, but luckily we never fell out.
Once, on a flat part of the river, Dad, Kathleen and I jumped out of the raft and floated down the river with our life jackets on. Brrr, the water was cold.
We camped for the night on a beautiful white sandy beach where Kathleen and I dug a huge hole and made water slides.
The raft was controlled by our guide, Balsain, who knew Daddy from 20 years ago. He used oars to steer the raft down the river and into the rapids! Balsain also prepared delicious meals for us. It was a great rafting experience. I hope to do it again.
