Back from white water kayaking

White water kayak is quite an intense experience. You have no control over the water, experience and technic would help you, but as I have none, so the first days were really tough ! I drink lots of water, swim a lot. Not as relaxing as expected, I have to admit :-)

More about the Trisuli River:
The Trishuli is named after the trishula or trident of Shiva, a powerful god in the Hindu pantheon.There is a legend that says high in the Himalayas at Gosaikunda, Shiva drove his trident into the ground to create three springs – the source of the river and hence its name Trisuli

Trisuli river starts from Betrawati (625m) and flows to Narayanghat (170m) covering distance of 141 kms. The river is approchable from Kathmandu by vehicle in 2 to 4 hours' drive and the river days would be from 4 to 7. The difficulty in class is 3+ to 4

100 miles ride for the Diabetes Cure

Team Red Smash

I signed up initially for the 55miles ride. But after the 15 mile water break, I lost my group. I ended up riding by myself, ahead of the 55 miles group and at the queue of the 100 miles group. At the 55 miles turn back point, I was feeling very good and decided to go for the 100 miles ride. It was a great ride, people was fantastic. And it allowed me to discover New Jersey: Piermont, NYACK … it was beautiful …
