Meanwhile, the officials will attend the International Rafting City Development Forum, where they will also present a paper on Nepal's adventure tourism.
Shiva Adhikari, General Secretary at NARA, told that "through this festival, Nepal can be promoted as the best destination for adventurous water tourism."
Besides rafting, the Himalayan country also offers water activities like cannoning, kayaking, and stand-up paddle among others.
There are around 65 rafting agencies in Nepal, while nearly 1500 guides are involved in this sector.
