Why Drift Nepal?
After two decades of running rivers worldwide, 3 friends united to create Drift Nepal.
Joined by our commitment to quality, lust for adventure and awe-inspired respect for our Earth - Drift Nepal set afloat in 1998.

Think locally act globally - that’s how we do it at Drift Nepal. All of our guides grew up on the rivers we raft and spend off seasons guiding around the world – USA, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Switzerland, Argentina, Japan, Turkey and Iceland - wherever there’s a river to run!

Grounded in our commitment to quality, all staff is trained in CPR, First Aid, Swift Water Rescue, Environmental Stewardship and 5-star cuisine. We take your safety seriously therefore before the start of any expedition the trip leader instructs the crew on river safety and rafting commands. Safety kayakers accompany all trips and our gear is the best in the trade.
