Description
 Sun
Koshi River in combination with exciting river section
of Tamur river - a 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 Sun koshi
trip are fairly relaxed class 3, giving an excellent
opportunity for great teamwork real development. As
the river 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!
The
unique Sun Kosi trip above ending with a short drive
and camping on the adjoining with Tamur River.The
next morning, we will raft the Tamur, which is a very
powerful and exciting river with over 30 Class 4+
rapids in rapid succession! After rejoining the Sun
Koshi, we camp at the confluence, and then the next
morning we raft to Chatara and return to Kathmandu.
This extra day trip to Tamur is the best way to end

rapids and the experience of a lengthy trip where
lifelong friendships can often begin.
