| The
Sun Koshi trip is a 10-day adventure on one of the world's great rivers.
We start close to the Tibetan border and paddle 280 km through class
II - IV white water to the take out close to the Indian border. In
the first days of the trip we get a chance to get used to life on
the river before the Sun Koshi drops down into the Indian plains and
offers us it's biggest and best rapids in the last few days.The trip
is raft supported and non kayakers are welcome to come on the raft.
We camp on beaches at the riverside. Our trip is expedition style
where everyone is involved in loading and unloading our gear raft,
setting camp and cooking. We carry all we need for our ten days journey
on the raft. Some of the best expedition kayakers in the country lead
the trip and is always supported by safteykayakers. Non kayakers have
a chance to learn to kayak in the easier part of the river. The Sun
Koshi journey is an incredible combination of powerful whitewater,
stunning scenery, a chance to explore remote villages, and truly quiet
and introspective evenings. This is beside the paddeling a truly exciting
way to explore Nepal and Himalayan culture. Sun Koshi is considered
to be one of the world's ten classic river journeys! |
