This is the longest river trip
offered in Nepal, traversing 270 km through the beautiful
Mahabharat Range on its meandering way from the put in at Dolalghat
to the take out at Chatara, far down on the Gangetic Plain. It is quite
an experience to begin a river trip just 3-hours out of Kathmandu, barely
60-km from the Tibet border, and end the trip looking down the hot,
dusty gun barrel of the North Indian Plain just a week later.
The Sun Kosi starts off fairly
relaxed, with class II and small class III rapids to warm up on during
the first couple of days. Savvy guides will take this opportunity to
get the teams to work with exquisite precision, as on the third day
the rapids become more powerful and frequent, with high water trips
finding themselves astonished at just how big a wave in a river can
get. 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 is an incredible combination of
powerful whitewater, stunning scenery, villages, and truly quiet and
introspective evenings along what many people consider to be one of
the world's ten classic river journeys.
This rafting can be operated
with other activities like short and long trekking, tours, wildlife
safari, bungee jumping, yoga and meditation, social and cultural study.
The itinerary can be further customized according to your duration of
your holiday. For Cost and further information please make inquiry.
