Transportation and Timetable
Dumja, instead of Dolalghat, new
put-in point for Sun Kosi River Rafting/Kayaking
trip, is about 3 hour drive east of Kathmandu. "WhiteWater
Nepal (P)LTD" provides private transport to
the put-in point of Sun Kosi river trip. The 235
km. of river action can take either 7 or 9 days,
it depends on the season. There is an orientation
meeting early in the evening  before
the trip, providing you with an opportunity to ask
any further questions you may have, to meet your
fellow rafters and also your guide and team.
The return journey from the take-out point of rafting/kayking
on Sun Koshi River - Chatara, in far south east
of the country, takes approximately 16 hours to
Kathmandu. It is also possible to arrange a flight
from Biratnagar (1 hour road journey from Chatara),
flight takes around 50min. to Kathmandu and it's
on additional cost.
Description
Sun Koshi river rafting/kayaking - classic river
trip is famous for being one of the top ten river
journeys in the world. The ever changing scenery
helps to ensure that every day on the river is exciting
and different. The beginning of the trip sees high
mountains, open valley, forests and small remote
villages. The final days bring you to open plains
and the thriving village of Chatara.
 The
rapids encountered at the beginning of the river
trip are fairly relaxed class 3, giving an excellent
opportunity for great teamwork to really develop.
As the Sun Kosi winds its way across the country
the size of the rapids increase and it is not unknown
for villagers watching from the riverbank to lose
sight of the raft in the huge waters!
Sun Kosi river rafting/kayaking is an ideal trip
for those wanting to combine peaceful stretches
of stunning scenery, some great and challenging
rapids and the experience of a lengthy trip where
lifelong friendships can often begin.
