 Sunkoshi
River Rafting (7 days)
The Sunkoshi means "Golden River' flows
through the great valley between the
Mahabharat lekh mountains & Himalayan.
It forms the watershed for most of
Eastern Nepal, gathering strength from
many glaciers fed tributaries on its way
to India & the Ganges. Rafting the
Sunkoshi River is a unique experience, a
rare combination of scenic beauty,
cultural encounters & exciting white
water. So, Sunkoshi is one of the most
enjoyable rivers in the world. Rafting
put-in point is Dolalghat, which is just
two hours drive from Kathmandu to
take-out point at Chatara far down in
the Gangetic plain (8 days on the river
). The Sunkoshi starts off fairly
relaxed, with small class two rapids &
small class three rapids to warm up on
during the 1st couple of days. While the
lower sections of large volume rivers
are usually flat, the Sunkoshi reserves
some of its biggest & best rapids for
the last days. Everyday 5 hours paddling
on the river except first & last day
rapid countered class 4 to 5 according
to class 1-6.
