River rafting begins to promote Nepal Visit Year 2020

October 5 : Rafting has begun on the Narayani River, targeting the Nepal Visit Year 2020.

The 45.5 kilometers rafting route with its station at Kalikhola of Ichhamanakamana rural municipality-6, Chitwan is said to be the country’s longest one.

The route ends at Kavreghat of Bharatpur metropolis-16.

Company vice chair and manager Ganesh Bahadur Thapa said the service was launched upon realising a great potentiality of water tourism in Nepal. As he said, Nepal’s rivers such as Narayani, Koshi and Karnali can be developed into best destinations for water tourism. He hoped that the Narayani rafting would support the Visit Nepal Year 2020 announced by the government.
