The Sun Koshi means “River of Gold” – because of its beauty or
maybe because of its orange color in the monsoon when it is
thick with alluvial silt. This river is one of the ten best
white water rafting trips in the world. Big rapids, warm water,
beautiful scenery and great camping beaches make this a classic
multi-day river trip. Upper section of this river is known as
Bhote Koshi – river from Tibet. A small tributary of the Sun
Koshi joins it below BaraBise. Raft put in point, Dolalghat is
only 2 hours drive from Kathmandu. |

The Karnali is Nepal’s longest and largest
river. The area it flows through is wind and relatively
unpopulated with some of the most pristine jungle scenarios in
Nepal and abundant wildlife. The rapids are also pretty wilder
in comparison to Sun Koshi. The Karnali is more constrained by
its canyon walls, making bigger, more continuous and serious
rapids. The access to the river is two days drive from
Kathmandu.

3+ Volume : 170cms

It is one of the most scenic rivers in
Nepal with golden cliffs, green jungle, crystal clear green
water, white beaches, and excellent fishing opportunities, good
bird watching coupled with powerful current and sparking rapids
of moderate difficulty.
