Sunkoshi River Rafting
The river rises near Tibet and is joined by the Bhoti Kosi just downstream from Barbesi the Sunkoshi River ‘the river of gold’ might be named after gold found from the gravel of river while panning. Alternatively, it refers to the orange color of the water when it gets thick with alluvial slit during monsoon. Classic Sun Koshi River is one of the top ten river journey in the world. While passing between the Mahabharat Lekh in between your adventure journey you will see high & open mountains, open valley, forest, small remote villages, white sandy shore, troops of monkeys, and abundance of birdlife.
Obviously, it is 8 days trip programmers. Sunkoshi river rafting starts from Baseri (Dolalghat) and ends at Chatara. Baseri is 3 hours drive from Kathmandu to the east. Among many advantages of a long river trip, it is a pleasant diversity of things within a short span of time with a chance to see different species of flora and fauna available around the basin. It is a 4-5 graded and challenging Wild River in east Nepal. Tour not recommended in the months February to April. There are dozens of adrenaline pumping big rapids and miles of calm water to reflect on this beautiful area with scenery.
