Whitewater Nepal by Peter Knowles.

If you are looking for more information on rafting and kayaking in Nepal - we highly recommend an outstanding guidebook, the new edition of White Water Nepal. White Water Nepal ISBN 0-9519413-3-X can be obtained from most kayak suppliers and travel bookshops world wide or through Amazon.com or Bol.com'
