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 river 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.
