Season Nepal’s rivers change with the seasons. Each year, after the heavy monsoon the water swell, changing the flow of the rivers and the nature of the rapids. New rapids are created; others become more difficult and some simply impossible to navigate. We are constantly monitoring changes in the rivers and their rapids, so that we can always ensure the safety of our clients and plan expeditions with the great care. The most excellent times for rafting are September to early December and March to early June. From early September to early October and May to June the rivers can be extremely high with monsoon run-off. Any expeditions attempted at this time require a very experienced rafting company with an intimate knowledge of the river and strong teams, as high flows are potentially the most dangerous time to be on the river. From mid October onwards the weather is settled and this in one of the most popular times to raft, In December many of the rivers become too cold to enjoy and the days are short with the start of the winter. A time to perhaps consider a shorter trip runs on the warmest river in Nepal. The summer season from March to early June has lower water flows to begin with, which generally means the rapids aren't as powerful. The rivers rise again in May with pre-monsoon storms and some snow melt, and then it's high water time again. Himalayas are dynamic and their rapids change every monsoon.
