A very Rough Guide indeed
to a paddling holiday in Nepal

by Phil Manfield and Neil Davey


This guide was originally put together after Phil spent the autumn season safety-boating in Nepal in 1996.  Some friends who were going to Nepal two years later wanted some "advice" and this was the result.  It is not intended to be a river guide, as Peter Knowles' guidebook gives far more information than we could include here, but instead concentrates more on the non-paddling aspects of a "boating trip" to Nepal; the wheezes, the ruses, the blags and the "common" which may be of use to a paddler arriving in Nepal for the first time with a kayak on his shoulder.  

This guide has been slightly updated to reflect changes we found in the  1998 season, and will no doubt be added to and chopped around in future.   

Please let us know what you think.
