A clean, blue, scenic river only a few hours drive from Kathmandu.
The upper part of the famous Sun Koshi river can offer you some amazing trips during the monsoon time with continuous class 4+ white water.
The valley is surprisingly scenic with well –wooded sides and a wide blue river winding between white beaches. The valley is followed by the Arniko highway (road to Lhasa) but the road traffic is usually light and not intrusive.
Rafting:
At its
best in medium to high water flows and
not recommended during the low-water season.
Kayaking:
Lots of bouldery rapids with
a not too pushy current,
make it a perfect warm up for the Bhote Koshi
or a place to build confidence for
the intermediate
kayaker. Eddy lines are well defined and there
are good play waves and Endo spots for
practicing
technique and posing for the photographer.
