Rafting with kids (and dog) in Nepal - two on the deviation Family World Trip
A little preparation and a lot of stress and excitement here, we breakfast before traveling to the starting point in the river. We are all sitting, and dog Fudge, Vadim - Nepalese friend Yotam joined us (he preferred it over to sit down and study for exams). Around us all the guides we already know, Santos and Asoke, the thought, Subas, Sano directive Gu.
We set off. At first we saw a lot of houses, but gradually the landscape cb began to change and become more and more villages. Wide rice fields and beautiful. Hedging plots forming purple flowers like a carpet of purple and green. Rural houses with straw roofs and chickens ..
We got on the rafts, we sat on both sides and each received a paddle. That's all. Here we are floating in the river, striving as Santos explains. Rapid first came pretty quickly Fudge fell off the raft and took us a few minutes to succeed to pull him from the water. He swam all the time but you could see he was pretty nervous. After returning to the raft and calmed down a bit, let it sit over all equipment, high point overlooking everything cb and he really enjoyed.
Slowly dwindled the number of children reaching the natural landscape of the turquoise-colored cb water and a real jungle and enchanting both banks of the river. Between the mountains and the trees, the river meanders the cotton flower like those amazing big red accompany us and decorate everything.
We passed several small Rafidim and it was fun for everyone. Almost. Waves did not enjoy. I just woke up in the morning she would not stop bitching and it continued Brafsoda. Bullied water in sandals and helmet pressed and had a comfortable sit .. it lasted until we stop for lunch.
Guys deployed lunch - very nice breakfast and seemed perfectly equipped. What they did not have. Tools in water and washing utensils and cutlery and cooking utensils and groceries abound and retire on the sand surface and it seems they really thought of everything. After a good rest we returned to the river.
At one point she asked to move Ducky and I agreed with serious concerns. Ducky narrow and seems much less stable Mharafsoda. It was not easy when she was there, far from my sentries, but she enjoyed it so much that I had to release. cb After her children decided to name the most fun that has the most action cb they take turns whenever someone cb else.
The view was lovely. Occasionally cb he discovered a small village in the middle of nowhere. But altogether. Wooden houses are built on stilts, standing on a hillside above the river. Most of them wrote a long suspension bridge between two mountains that separates the sons and the river below. Time passed, we passed some nice Rafidim where children celebrated, and much of the time we rowed together.
We ate a delicious dinner of pasta and vegetables and chips. More tea, and fire. The children were so tired that they wanted to go to bed early and fell asleep in seconds. We even stayed by the fire, talked with the guys and ourselves.
We got up in the morning in a tent warm and cozy. Kids sleeping bags immediately jumped to the beach and the sun. The tea was waiting for us. Brushing and refreshments and already we drink hot tea and watch the beautiful river before us. I took the fudge ride. Yotam joined. cb We walked to the riverbank, watching the crystal clear waters and the landscape beyond. Rocks, which were hewn natural caves and spectacular forms. Soft white sand. Trees and ferns. We came to a small docking place of the countryside. Boat made of logs resting her there. Beautiful. As taken from postcards from distant worlds.
We had breakfast. The children ate and enjoyed the pampering. Eggs and toast (they heated a pan on the fire, put the pebbles and their clos bread), potatoes, butter - honey - jam - peanut butter. And pancakes. Sun seemed to accompany us day goes disappeared behind the clouds. Wind started. Zvika started to organize our things and children cb have been getting cold. We dressed - long pants and Flizim me and the girls. While we ask ourselves if it was raining or not - started to drip. We put ourselves dry suits (dry suit) and with all matters of safety and boarded the boat.
At first it was very difficult. The wind was against us and just could not paddle. Also drip all the time and I was afraid that this day is going to be not so fun. Rapid moved one after which the wind died down and the rain stopped. From that moment, though it was not really hot, but the sun appeared and disappeared suits and actually was better without the sun being deprived cb of our heads all day.
I Ducky. After Rapid one was great fun and I was wet, waves moved to sit on me. Details Dacia is more fun, because Sano could have done for us, And Run, and run wild in the water. After the children saw that we really enjoy (waves rejoiced there and laughed so hard!), Are joined - at first Yotam steam and then steam and Rani. We went through several Rafidim of fun living in Dacia and we enjoyed very much.
Zvika remains the largest boat and kept mostly cb on the fudge. This time we kept it dry and set him up above all the equipment. When he wanted to go he settled into the back of the boat, where drier. cb Some Rafidim Santos visited before the end we return Lrafsoda that is going to be a little more turbulent. I returned with a heavy heart, with a desire for more "Big Balloon" Ducky .. I really wanted to soak these amazing but we debated cb because he was cool.
After a series Rafidim came one after the other to the cheers of the children, we decided cb that now is the time. If you do not jump now - we meet Htrisuli River and its water is much cooler. One by one we jumped off the boat. At first Yotam, cb followed cb by Rani, steam and then me. The water was cold but I did not care. The children swam with pleasure. Yotam climbed the Dacia and Sano playfully pushed him back into the water and back again.
We went a little further in the calm waters and got to the end point. We went down, wet and happy, we changed clothes and dried ourselves. The guys put all the equipment into the van and prepared lunch. The children ate the food appetite. Hen jumped into the success of the waves and made her a new plate. The guys ate Dal Bhatt and started our way back poker.
I watched all the way through the damp
