Trips Notes How your Journey will Start Towards Trishuli River Rafting You will arrive in Nepal, Kathmandu at Tribhuwan International Airport as that is the only international airport. An overnight stay in a hotel in Kathmandu is required upon the arrival. The next day we will be travelling to our destination via bus or a local jeep. Don't Worry Transportation Is Included In Package We provide free airport pickup and drop by private vehicle. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our Discovery world trekking crew with a traditional offering of Khada or marigolds garland (symbolizing purity, goodwill, auspiciousness and compassion), then directly transfer you to your hotel. To make use of this service please submit full flight details of arrival and departure in advance by mail. Money exchange You can exchange most foreign currencies through the banks and through the money exchanges. Money exchangers are also legitimate. You might be able to also exchange small amounts of cash at the hotel you are staying. Money exchange facilities are available in Kathmandu. Money changers or Money exchangers in Kathmandu are found all over Thamel. The going rate is normally displayed in the front of the stores on a board. The official currency of Nepal is the Nepali Rupee (NRP). Its symbol is often displayed as Rs. The government of Nepal has banned the import, export and use of 500 and 1000 Indian Rupees in Nepal. You should ensure you are not carrying these notes on arrival in Nepal as they will be confiscated and you may be fined. Despite having the security advantage of traveller’s cheque, many hassles problems like a lengthy process and high rate of commission may take place during the processing at banks. You can withdraw cash (in Rupees only) from one of many ATMs in Kathmandu (if you card is linked to the International Cirrus System), or by exchanging your travel cash at a bank in Kathmandu, the service fee charge will impose on around four percent or more depending up on the bank. There is a day transaction limit on cash withdrawing if you use the bank. Please note that most establishment banks in Asia will not accept foreign currency notes that are old, torn or faded and they can be very difficult to exchange or extra fees added when exchanging at banks. Please ensure that you have new, clean notes. Safety During Rafting Discovery World Trekking guarantees our client’s safety, security and satisfaction. Safety is the utmost important concern for us.

Large boulders, ca. 10 m in diameter or more, commonly linger in Himalayan river channels. In many cases, their lithology is consistent with source areas located more than 10 km upstream, suggesting long trans- port distances. The mechanisms and timing of “exotic” boulder emplacement are poorly constrained, but their presence hints at processes that are relevant for landscape evolution and geohazard assessments in mountainous regions. We surveyed river reaches of the Trishuli and Sunkoshi, two trans-Himalayan rivers in central Nepal, to improve our understanding of the processes responsible for exotic boulder transport and the timing of em- placement. Boulder size and channel hydraulic geometry were used to constrain paleo-flood discharge assuming turbulent, Newtonian fluid flow conditions, and boulder exposure ages were determined using cosmogenic nu- clide exposure dating.

Chaubey1 · Prashant K. Srivastava1 · Akhilesh Gupta2 · R. K. Mall1 Received: 15 November 2019 / Accepted: 15 September 2020 © Springer Nature B.V. 2020 Abstract Changes in climate cause signifcant alterations in morphometric parameters and may lead to hydro-meteorological hazards. In this study, an attempt has been made to identify drain- age morphometric characteristics through topographic, geologic and hydrological infor- mation to assess the extreme weather events (food) over the Gandak River Basin (GRB). The standardized precipitation index (SPI) and rainfall anomaly index (RAI) were used for deducing extreme rainfall incidences derived from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mis- sion precipitation datasets. An assembled frequency distribution as well as trends in RAI and SPI was calculated to understand the hydro-climatological behaviour of the basin. Dur- ing the monsoon season, the years 1998, 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2017 witnessed the extreme food events. The variations in heavy and intense rainfall in short time can be linked to extreme food events, which leads to channel shifting and modifcations, can be deduced from provided asymmetric factors and sinuosity index. The results illustrated that both the monsoonal rainfall and the frequency of extreme rainfall over the basin are increasing, which could be a reason for a high severity and frequency of food events in the GRB. Keywords Flood · Standardized precipitation index (SPI) · Rainfall anomaly index (RAI) · Morphometric · Gandak basin (Indo-Nepal region) 1 Introduction The Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) comprises several river streams and act as an important source for freshwater resources in the Indian region.

  • Landslide Susceptibility in Rasuwa District of Central Nepal After the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake
    Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2019, vol. 59, pp. 79–88 DOI: https://doi.org/103126/jngs.v59i0.24992 Landslide susceptibility in Rasuwa District of central Nepal after the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake *Badal Pokharel1,2 and Prem Bahadur Thapa1 1Department of Geology, Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Himalayan Risk Research Institute, Bhaktapur, Nepal *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake (7.8 Mw) triggered several landslides in central Nepal with major damages in 14 districts. Among them, the Rasuwa district at the north of Kathmandu Valley faced severe landslides due to rugged topography, complex geology and improper landuse development. The landslides had blocked the Pasang Lhamu Highway and dammed the Trishuli River at many places. A total of 1416 landslide locations were detected in the district from high resolution satellite images in Google Earth. In this study, landslide susceptibility was modeled in the Rasuwa District by considering slope, aspect, elevation, geology, peak ground acceleration (PGA), landuse, drainage proximity and thrust proximity as the predictive factors for landslide occurrences. The landslide inventory was split into 70% and 30% portions as the training dataset and testing dataset respectively. The results from modified frequency ratio (FR) suggest that effect of geology with prediction rate 2.52 is the highest among all factors and is followed by elevation (2.38) and drainage proximity (2.12). The results were verified using area under curve (AUC) and the prediction rate was found to be 79.14%. The computed landslide susceptibility map is helpful for landuse planning and landslide risk reduction measure in the Rasuwa District.

Our customer eligible to download & read only. All contents registered under copyright act 2063. Highlights Rafting in Trishuli River. Breakfast at the sandy beach of Trishuli River. Campfire along the banks of Trishuli River. Overnight at Riverside Resort. Overview Trishuli River Rafting is an outdoor sport done on the Trishuli river. The river has varying water currents and lush vegetation around its banks. This makes it a perfect place to raft. The starting point of the Trishuli River rafting is Charaudi. We reach this place following 3-4 hours of drive from Kathmandu and Pokhara. A more 2-hour drive from Chitwan will lead us to this place. After we arrive, we put on the rafting gear. It includes a lifejacket, helmet, paddle, and necessary safety equipment. The instructor will then brief us on scenarios and safety issues. Hence, we hop on the raft with our group. Trishuli River has a different water flow according to the season. Thus, we meet various classes of rapids according to the flow of water. On the first day, we meet class 2 to class 3 rapids along the trip. At first, we raft over a rapid called “Ladise” delight. Then after we stop for lunch and follow the trip with overcoming rapids called “Upset” and rightly named “Surprise”.

  • Hydro-Meteorology of the Country
    Chapter 3 Hydro-Meteorology of the Country 3.1 RIVER B ASINS For hydrological studies, Nepal is divided into seven drainage basins: the Kankai Mai River Basin, the Koshi River Basin, the Bagmati River Basin, the Narayani River Basin, the West Rapti River Basin, the Karnali River Basin, and the Mahakali River Basin. Among them only the four basins described below contain glaciers and glacial lakes. The Koshi River basin The river system of eastern Nepal is occupied by the Koshi River Basin, which is also known as the Sapta Koshi River, i.e., a network of seven major rivers flowing through the Koshi River Basin. All these seven rivers, namely, the Tamor River, the Arun River, the Dudh Koshi River, the Likhu River, the Tama Koshi River, the Sun Koshi River, and the Indrawati River, from east to west, originate from the High Himalaya. Among the tributaries, the Sun Koshi-Bhote Koshi, the Tama Koshi, and the Arun River originate in Tibet. The Gandaki River basin The river network of central Nepal is occupied by the Gandaki River system, which is popularly known as Narayani. The river network forming Narayani comprises the Trishuli River, the Budhi Gandaki River, the Marsyangdi River, the Seti Gandaki River, and the Kali Gandaki River. Among these rivers, some parts of the Kali Gandaki River and the Budhi Gandaki River and major parts of the Trishuli River lie in Tibetan territory and flow down through the Himalayan range to Nepal. The Karnali River basin The Karnali River is about 507 km in length and is formed by the joining of Mugu Karnali and Humla Karnali at Galwa.

This Aide Memoire provides a summary of key findings from two due diligence missions that were undertaken, respectively, from March 16-23, 20151, and April 19-24, 2015. Both missions were with respect to the Upper Trishuli (UT1) Hydro Project - a run-of-river project with an installed capacity is 216 MW to produce an estimated 1,533.1 GWh per year – located on the Trishuli River in Rasuwa District of central Nepal. 2. The first mission (the WB mission2) was led by Sandeep Kohli, Task Team Leader (TTL), and Patrice Caporossi, the Co-Task Team Lead (Co-TTL), while the second mission, was led by International Finance Corporation (IFC) (the UT1 Lenders’ mission) included representatives from various commercial and developmental financial institutions, as well as WBG members, including MIGA3. From the World Bank, Pravin Karki, Arnaud Braud, and Leanne Farrell – covering respectively, technical, commercial, and Public Disclosure Authorized environmental aspects of due diligence, were part of this UT1 Lenders mission. 3. On April 25, 2015 just at the end of the UT1 Lenders’ mission, the first of two devastating earthquakes struck Nepal. This earthquake with epicenter at Barpak, Gorkha, killed over 9,000 people, and injured over 23,000. There was widespread damage in Rasuwa District, including at the UT1 site. Road access to the site was cut off, and there were casualties reported. The earthquake was followed by several aftershocks which are continuing till date.
