This is the classic Nepal rafting trip, rated in the top 10 rafting trips in the world! The Sun Kosi is a big volume wilderness run with big rapids spread throughout the 8 day trip. Complimented by giant beaches for camping, and small villages to visit. From farm land to jungles we cover over 200 miles on the river! An ideal trip for rafters and explorers!
The SUNKOSI means River of Gold, so called after the gold that is sometimes panned from the river gravel or perhaps the silty orange color it gets in monsoon. It is known by river runners as the BIG ONE! It rises near Tibet and rushes eastward to form the watershed of Eastern Nepal. In high water it is not for the faint hearted. The river is wide and fast with bumpy pressure waves fed by the monsoon. Big holes and massive waves are the order of the day!
The Sunkoshi Thunders through isolated terrain occasionally coming across Rai and Limbu villages. This is unspoilt rural Nepal at its best. The banks have broad, sandy beaches ideal for camping and the river gives us little surprises such as the occasional waterfall where you can play while the water pummels your tired limbs.
The banks of the lower river heavily forested with troops of monkeys and exotic birds.
