River Rafting in Nepal Nepal is also popular for rafting. The main source for the river system in Nepal is the marvelous and splendid Himalayas in the north. To raft one does not need any formal training or experience. What you need is courage and spirit of adventure. We provide you well-trained and experienced river guide with good quality equipments. Climate & Period for River Trips The best season for rafting is October and November. During this time, rivers are moderately high, temperatures are warm and the skies seem clear with fine mountain views. Rafting is not recommended during June, July and September. From December till early February water is cold and river level low. From late February to early April is also good time for river running - river levels are reliably low, air temperature warm and blue. The disadvantage is that the air is often hazy: one cannot be assured of stunning mountain views and there may be occasional shower of rain.
