About Paddle Nepal
Paddle Nepal is a Pokhara-based whitewater specialist operating at the foot of the Annapurna mountains, with around two decades of experience guiding rafting, kayaking and canyoning trips across Nepal's rivers. From its Lakeside base it runs everything from gentle half-day floats to multi-day wilderness expeditions, drawing on a network of rivers including the Trishuli, Seti, Marshyangdi, Kali Gandaki, Sun Koshi, Karnali and Tamur.
The company's offerings span guided whitewater rafting, structured kayak instruction (beginner clinics through to advanced courses), canyoning, and stand-up paddleboarding on Phewa Lake. It also operates the Chhimkesory Adventure Camp and runs the Himalayan River Guide Training Academy, reflecting a strong emphasis on guide development and safety. Combination packages let guests stack several water activities into one itinerary.
Paddle Nepal's reputation rests on professionalism, mentorship and a safety-first culture, with internationally trained guides and quality equipment. For travellers in Pokhara it is a one-stop paddlesports outfitter — equally suited to a first-time rafter wanting a scenic day on the Seti or an aspiring kayaker enrolling in a structured progression course on Himalayan whitewater.
