Whitewater Rafting
There are numerous rafting opportunities in Mongolia dotted all over the country – everywhere bar the desert sands of the south of course! In eastern Mongolia is one of the biggest rivers in the Pacific Basin, the Kherlen River. This river is suitable for rafters of any ability.
Over in the western Altai region, the steep mountain escarpments are laced with fast-flowing rivers. The water courses through pine and larch forests while tumbling over rocks and through eddies. Mention rafting in this area and there’s one river in particular that sets the hearts of experienced rafters racing - The Bashkaus River. It is considered the most difficult white water in Mongolia with high class V rapids that should only be attempted by proven, knowledgeable rafters.
The best time of year to raft across Mongolia is late July to September.
