Sun Kosi River Rafting

The Sun Kosi River rafting is a mecca for world-class and beginner rafters and kayakers alike, and has actually been classified as one of the world’s top 10 river journeys. With water gushing down from the glaciers of Himalayan Giants, Nepal’s rivers are truly second to none, plunging through towers of rock and gorges and softening along the Ganges plain en route to the Bay of Bengal. Since these rivers are thought by local Hindis and Buddhists to be goddesses, you may even stumble upon a river festival during the journey.

After a three-hour drive from Kathmandu, put in among the region’s breathtaking high mountains. As you meander through varying levels of rapids (starting with class 3) and camp at night along the river around slow-burning driftwood, eventually descend into open valleys, past richly diverse tree-lines, and through some of the world’s quaintest, most remote villages. The final stretch takes you to Chatara, a busy town in the heart of vast, open plains.

The Sun Kosi River trip is one of the few in the world that combines the high-intensity focus and teamwork of navigating exhilarating rapids with the peaceful solitude that can only accompany such stunning scenery – a truly fantastic combination of ingredients out of which to build friendships to last a lifetime.
