Sun Koshi River Rafting
Sunkoshi is the longest river offered in Nepal. Sunkoshi, "River
of Gold" is considered one of the ten best rafting rivers
in the world. The Sun Kosi flows eastwards in Nepal through the
great valley between the Mahabharat Lek Mountains and the Himalaya.
It forms the watershed for most of eastern Nepal and gathering
strength from tributaries draining the highest mountains in the
world it emerges onto the northern plains of India where it joins
the Ganges.
In November, the flow at Dolalghat is about 100 cubics: lower
down the river, through the big rapids of the 'jungle Corridor',
it would be about 400 currents which is approx. 11,000 cfs-a typical
low flow on the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. At the take-out,
at Chatra, the flow is a mighty 800 cubic- still only a fraction
of monsoon levels!
The rafting starting point (Dolalghat) to ending point (Chautara)
covers 270 km. It's fully nice to meet some of remote village
nestled on the laps of hills; Hindu temples and religious spots
along the way make this trip really joyful.
