In the meantime the remaining staff will take care of the luggage and sort them into the raft and other part by road to the camp spot for the day, which will be Barabot for the first Night.
The first day is and unhurried tempo yet the current frequency is strong to drift us all the way except for the few tricky turns as we float through. Later in the afternoon we stop Burundi entoute to have lunch break for about an hour. After lunch we float through some continuous moderate rapids, generally graded class 3 at the climax volume frequency but subside during dry season.

After breakfast we pack up and continue down river float again. The first half afternoon is another leisurely, scenic tempo and gradually we begin to encounter few interesting rapids that those are technical and exciting till we come to the confluence of another river, the Buri Gandaki River. The Trishuli River is wider and deeper from hence onward and increases the volume prevailing more rapids and current frequency out of which the Tin Devi rapids stands en route. It is graded class 4 depending on the season but its class 2 with dry season. The ever going continuous rapid heads on but we will be camp in at

The rapids are class 4 to 7, but at the moment it is class 4, yet technical as we shoot through the Up-set rapid. During the high volume this rapid is more technical and tough to maneuvering from the drops and holes as we can witness after we get by. We will be stopping just after the Up –set rapid for the lunch break where there is a wide sandy beach to relax after the muscle through. Soon after the break we raft through another exciting rapid known as Surprise. It is due to the sudden drop which causes huge hydraulic suction momentum should the raft go by, with the volume water during high volume.

The steady continuous rapid drags we with the changes of the landscape that differs from the previous days and we will find us into a gorge today at Simaltar for the night. The campsite has a natural water falls called “Rainbow Falls” which is safe to take bath under it or just wander around.
