Had a fantastic time on the rafting trip.
There were 13 in our group. 3 Brits, 2 Americans, 2 Dutch, 1 German, 1 Portugese, 1 Nepali and 3 Bangladeshis. All very nice and lots of fun, especially the Bangladeshi guys.
We were in the blue team (we won every day) and had loads of laughs, got very wet, almost fell out a few times (Hork, one of the Bangladeshis fell out 5 times).
Our camps were on the sandy beaches by the side of the river. The tents were made by leaning the rafts on their sides and pulling a bit of tarpaulin over the top. Very nice to sleep in too.
The food on the trip was brilliant and prepared by our rafting instructors.
Had a swim in the river (cold), made campfires every night and on the last night the instructors made a drum from a barrel and sang us Nepali songs and made all the boys dance a Nepali dance. It was a really good trip.
We also saw lots of wildlife including vultures, griffins, monkeys and loads of birds.
The toilet was adequate if primative. A length of tarpaulin hung around 4 paddles stuck in the ground around a hole. The engaged sign was a rafting helmet on a paddle to let people know someone was in there.
All in all a great few days. Well worth it.
