The
Sunkoshi means "Golden River' flows through the great
valley between the Mahabharat lekh mountains & Himalayan.
It forms the watershed for most of Eastern Nepal, gathering
strength from many glaciers fed tributaries on its way to
India & the Ganges. Rafting the Sunkoshi River is a
unique experience, a rare combination of scenic beauty,
cultural encounters & exciting white water. So, Sunkoshi
is one of the most enjoyable rivers in the world. Rafting
put-in point is Dolalghat, which is just two hours drive
from Kathmandu to take-out point at Chatara far down in
the Gangetic plain (8 days on the river ). The Sunkoshi
starts off fairly relaxed, with small class two rapids &
small class three rapids to warm up on during the 1st couple
of days. While the lower sections of large volume rivers
are usually flat, the Sunkoshi reserves some of its biggest
& best rapids for the last days. Everyday 5 hours paddling
on the river except first & last day rapid countered
class 4 to 5 according to class 1-6.
