Sunkoshi River Rafting

Sunkoshi River RaftingThe SUNKOSHI 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 hones and massive waves are the order of the day and most rapids have only tow results - flip or trip - but certainly won't get through without the river letting you know who is Boss!.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

Trip Itinerary

Day:01
We meet at the drift's office in Thamel at 06:30 (though it's your vacation) and take a five minute walk to our private bus to start our adventure. It is a 3 hours journey to the 'put-in point' where we have a 'smorgasbord' lunch of the finest, energy giving food (nothing but the best for our gold hunters). The guides will brief you on the safety aspects of the trip and then we hit the mighty SUNKOSHI! The afternoon is spent honing skills on grade 2-3 rapids to warm up for the week ahead. In the evening we make camp under the stars. Some hot stimulationg drinks, a wholesome dinner prepared and served by the guides and we bid goodnight to the first day on our quest for gold.

Day:02-08
Wake up to the sound of the roaring river and a choice of hot or cold breakfast. Today we bump and tumble down rapids like the Meat Grinder and No Exit. After a leisurely lunch we drift a bit and raft a bit towarda our campsite. Lots of grade 2-3 and 3-4s rapids to let you practice, and believe you me, you are going to need it once you hit the Mighty Hakapur. Once at camp the guides again show off their culinary expertise. On day 3 we step it up a little with the Motorcycle and high Anxiety. The Dudhkosi joins the SUNKOSHI and everything goes haywire with lots of confluence. It goes on with rapids like the Mighty Hakapur, Hakapur II, Jaws, Dead Man's Eddy, Jungle Corridor, Big Hole, Rhino Rock, Roller Coaster, Black Hole and the Big Dipper. Please note that will be a lay over day on this trip.

Day:09
Today you can sit back and reflect. LEt that warm, tired but happy feeling wash over you. You have survived the hunt for gold hunt when many would not have dared to set foot on the path. Tomorrow it will be a memory but savor the river, marvel at the pristine forests and check your self that it is real. Thought you may not have found some gold nuggets but you certainly have a golden memory to bring back home. After lunch say good-bye to the BIG ONE and say thanks to the river gods as we set off for KATHMANDU.

Day:10
Wake up in Kathmandu after an over night private bus ride from Chatara where our take out was. On our way back some of us might want to explore and have that animal instinct to be in jungle for a safari adventure in Royal Chitwan National Park. Please remember that, there is an availability in option of flying our and staying at the safari camp. You will have to let us know before going on the trip so that we can do the necessary arrangements for you.
