Welcome:
Sunkoshi River Rafting
Page |
 |
| |
|
Gathering strength from tributaries draining the highest mountains in
the world the white water on the Sun Kosi is Biblical, even
expedition-size rafts disappear into the vastness of crashing waves
and rolling, boiling water. After the monsoon the river is high and
wild, and definitely not for the faint-hearted. Whipped, foamy white
water where narrow gorges constrict the river's flow, the rapids here
are long and powerful.
|
 |
The warm
waters of the Sun Kosi surge, snake and wind for 270 km to the east of
Nepal. While the lower sections of large volume rivers are usually rather
flat, the Sun Kosi reserves some of its biggest and best rapids for the
last days. At the right flow it's an incredible combination of white
water, scenery, villages, and truly quiet and introspective evenings on
huge sandy beaches along what many people consider to be one of the
world's 10 classic river journeys.
The river rises near
Shisha Pangma in Tibet and runs eastwards, draining the highest mountains of the
world before emerging on the plains of India, where it joins the Ganges. Our
journey takes us 270km through some of Nepal’s most remote regions giving you a
unique wilderness experience. The first two days are relatively easy and allow
time to train you as a team before the bigger rapids arrive. The rapids have
acquired names like Meat Grinder, High Anxiety, Jaws and Big Dipper, from
previous experiences on expeditions. Say no more! The calmer stretches between
rapids give you time to take in the phenomenal views, swim (voluntarily) in warm
water and camp on white sandy beaches. This river is a BIG volume HIGH
adrenaline expedition!!!

confluence. There is another beautiful Shiva temple overlooking the two
rivers. We camp here. (A, B, L, D) |

Day 09 |
The last stretch of river which
brings you to the last class 4+ ‘Big Dipper’ is a series of huge standing
waves. A few kilometer later Big Arun and Tamur rivers joins together to
form the Sapta Kosi. Then you float along on the powerful current , the
hills dramatically give way to totally flat Terai and the northern plains of
India. This is the end of a classic and memorable river journey. We will
finish our trip around 2 pm pack the gear and then drive back to Kathmandu
