Make Inquiry |
Bheri River is a mature and easy river that origins in the Dolpo region of Nepal. Bheri River flows through Surkhet valley before joining the Karnali River and after entering the plain Terai it flows into the Bardiya National Park in mid-western region in Nepal. Very few tourists raft on this river as it is a non- touristic area. It is easy river to raft although many rapids and thrilling rides will be encountered.
During the rafting, one can explore the typical Nepali villages with well preserved ancient traditions. Previously, this area was predominantly inhabited by the nomadic hunting Raute tribe in Nepal. Some Rautes still live around the Bheri River. Rafters that raft in other rivers in Nepal will not have a chance to know about Raute community.
Most of the time in this rafting trip, rafters will see mainly cliffs, forest and wildlife. Bird watching is excellent during the camping. On the final day, the river enters into the Bardiya National Park where the rafters can enjoy the diverse flora and fauna, varieties of animal, including Genetic Dolphins and birds. Bheri River rafting is very popular also for fishing.
It is about 20 hours drive from Kathmandu to Samjighat, the starting point. If taken an one hour flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj, it is only four hours drive to Samjhighat.
