PLEASE NOTE
The main shipment from Nepal has now arrived in the UK but I am a bit concerned that it will take time before the books filter through the distribution system. Some retailers should hopefully have them before Christmas but mail order suppliers like Amazon are saying that they cannot promise delivery for Christmas.
If you need a book for Christmas then we want to help and we can in this instance supply you direct, by return, from our small office stock. The cost is £22.95 with free postage and I will sign the book with a personal message if you wish. Please email me - pk at riverspublishing.demon.co.uk.
Best wishes,

White Water Nepal is probably the most iconic and famous rivers guidebook in the world of international kayaking and rafting, and it is the book that you will find on every international river runner’s bookshelf or wish list.
This new and thoroughly updated third edition opens the doors to the exhilarating joys of Himalayan river running.
Nepal has become one of the world’s top destinations for white water kayaking and rafting, and this new edition reflects this with updates from many Nepali top river runners and also contributions from celebrity international river runners. The new edition has detailed and updated descriptions of all the major rivers of Nepal and over 2300km of paddling. There are over 100 maps, hydrographs, river profiles, photos and drawings by some of Nepal’s best artists. There is extensive travel and logistics advice and the medical sections have been widely acclaimed by Expedition Doctors..
