     Sun Kosi River Expedition

     Kayaking in Kathmandu (Nepal) with AdventureX Ltd
 
Day 1
Arrive in Kathmandu. You will be met by an AdventureX Guide and then taken to your hotel for the evening. Hot shower then out to one of the many local fine restaurants.
(No meals included)

Day 2
Have the day to explore the amazing city of Kathmandu. Grab a taxi or rickshaw to visit some of the incredible temples and squares that make up this most vibrant of capitals. At 6pm we will have a pre-departure briefing then head off for a meal together.
(Breakfast included)

Days 3 - 9
After a hearty breakfast it’s time to head towards the big river. The first part of the morning is spent explaining the finer points on how to paddle through whitewater. You will encounter numerous smaller rapids on the first two days of the river followed by the more meaty Meat Grinder, High Anxiety and Harkapur. After stopping at Tokshel Harkapur and spending time checking out this porter town we drift down to a rapid called Harkapur 2 and camp for the evening. The famous Dudh Kosi, the river of milk, which tumbles down from Mount Everest forms the next rapid followed by Jaws, then Dead Mans Eddy and cascading water falls. We will then have at least one layover day staying at the same river camp for two nights.
(All meals included)

Day 10
The next big rapid of the trip - The Big Dipper. It’s then a quiet cruise down the confluence with the Tamur and Arun and the beginning of the Sapta Kosi, or the Seven Rivers. By noon we have reached the takeout. Two hours by bus brings us to Mulghat where we make a riverside camp right beside the mighty Tamur River.
(All meals included)

Day 11
The Lower Tamur is without a doubt one of the most exciting things you can do in Nepal, and quite possibly one of the best short river sections offered anywhere in the world. A full day on the river brings us to the sandy camp at the confluence of the Sun Kosi.
(All meals included)

Day 12
The final day we raft the Sun Kosi to Chatra. Flight back to Kathmandu.
(All meals included, except evening meal in Kathmandu)

Day 13
Free time in Kathmandu for shopping, sight-seeing etc.
