Got just one day in Bharatpur? Then this is the trip for you. It shows you the river from morning to night.

You'll start at Devghat, crossing the footbridge to watch the Kali Gandaki and the Trishuli become the Narayani, and visiting the temples along the banks. After lunch, you'll stroll downstream along the gravel shore with your guide, looking out for river birds, before ending the day on the Narayangadh waterfront as the lights come on across the water.

Highlights

  • The Kali Gandaki–Trishuli confluence at Devghat
  • Temples and ashrams on both banks
  • A riverbank bird walk with a local guide
  • Dusk on the Narayangadh waterfront
