Dear Our Respected Patron,
Warm greetings from Adrift Adventures Pvt. Ltd.
Since 2000, Adrift Adventures has been operating professionally designed river and adventure trips throughout Nepal. Over the years, we have built our reputation by providing safe, well-organized, environmentally responsible and memorable adventure experiences for individual travelers, families, groups, travel agencies and international partners.
We understand what makes a river journey truly special—not only exciting rapids and beautiful landscapes, but also professional guides, quality equipment, safety, hygienic food, reliable transportation and genuine hospitality.

We invite you to experience Nepal from a different perspective—from the river.
