the village of Chauraundi on the bank of the Trisuli River. At the
river everyone is fitted with a life jacket and helmet. Then the trip
leader will give a lesson on river safety, paddling technique and what
to do if you suddenly find yourself not sitting in a raft anymore. We
begin rafting in languid pleasurable fashion to get the feel of the
motion on a raft. The riverside scenery is exhilarating.
