2014 Himalayan White Water Festival (HWWF)

We are very proud at Kayak Session to become the media sponsor of the 4th edition of the Himalayan White Water Festival (HWWF).

The Himalayan White Water Festival (HWWF) is a 4-day international showcase of whitewater sports, featuring a series of rafting and kayaking competitions and events. This annual festival is quickly becoming Asia’s biggest whitewater festival attracting both local and international participants, from novices to professionals, as well as scores of spectators from variety adventure-sports backgrounds.

Although the river has traditionally been the centerpiece of this festival, our main objective is to gather outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world for a celebration of adventure sport, multi-culturalism, and unity. Spectators, competitors, and participants of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds are invited to attend the four days of festivities at the river’s edge. Everyone in attendance gets to choose their level of involvement in festival activities, and their presence alone is a welcome contribution to the spirit of this event.

The festival is held from 26^th – 29^th of November on the Trishuli River at Fishling Bazaar, set to a backdrop of the central Nepal Himalaya. Among a host of events, competitions include kayak slalom, kayak freestyle, boatercross, down-river races, and International standard rafting championships.

An important goal of this festival is to promote whitewater sports– kayaking in particular– on the Nepalese and Himalayan sport scenes. In doing so, we also aim to inspire the continuing development of paddle- and adventure-sports.
