9 Days – White Water Rafting in Sun Koshi River

Nepal has some of the rushing and fast-flowing rivers that originate from a higher altitude and flow towards the lower plane. Warm water, a subtropical climate, and huge white sandy beaches that are ideal for camping add further to the appeal. Sun Kosi means “River of Gold,” and it rises near the Tibetan Plateau. The river flows eastwards through the great valley between the Mahabharata range. It forms the main watershed for most of the eastern parts of Nepal, and it is fed by the tributaries drained from the world’s highest mountain, and finally emerges into the Northern plains of India and then joins the holy Ganges. The major rapids are huge with bouncy waves, drops, and holes similar to the rapids in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Along the river are beautiful white sandy beaches for camping, and the lower section of the river is covered with thick vegetation, which is inhabited by monkeys, ghariel, leopards, and an abundance of bird life.
