Rafting in Nepal’s rivers is always thrilling and adventurous, which provides a wonderful experience of Nepal’s natural and ethno-culture heritage, normally the rivers of Nepal are regarded as goddesses in Hindu and Buddhist religions. Along the river you can see wildlife and many species of fish.
Among of the rivers, Trishuli River is also a holy river, which follows from the north to south of Nepal. The lakes of Langtang are the main source of Trishuli River. There is a myth behind the river: once upon a time Lord Shiva out of thirst, took this trident (Trishul) and cut a hole with it in the ground,which later became a river we call Trishuli.
