Marsyandi
means 'Raging river' and it's name couldn't be more apt. It starts to the north
of the Annapurna range initially travelling south-east and then south below
Chame. Under the shadow of the mighty Manaslu the river put-in, close to Ngadi,
is an amazing place with incredible views on this, the early section of the 21
day Annapurna circuit trek.
The
Marsyandi was first run commercially in October 1995 when the first permits were
granted to explore this holy river. Since then the amazing combination of bus
ride, trek, and full-on rapids have made it one of the most popular rivers in
Nepal
From
Ngadi downstream to
the end of the trip at Bimalnagar it is solid whitewater. Rapids are steep,
technical, and consecutive, making the Marshyangdi a serious undertaking. For
people looking for a trip with a lot of demanding whitewater and great mountain
scenery, the Marshyangdi is hard to beat. This is the river that demands
Respect.
