Summary
Marsyandi means "Ranging River”
in the local dialect, a fitting description for this
kind of whitewater.
One of the best class 4 kayaking rivers
in the world- continuous, exhilarating whitewater with
magnificent mountain backdrops. Recommended for expert
kayakers and rafters. Note that a new dam is being built
at Phaliya Sanghu - this will ruin the Marsyandi for
kayaking and rafting- so run it whilst you can.
