The SunKosi is one of our favourite rivers here at GRG. It is a 7-9 day (depending on the time of year) whitewater rafting and kayaking expedition.
The trip starts just three hours from the center of Kathmandu, near the Tibetan border and takes
you all the way to the flat plains, to the confluence of the Ganges. It has been rated one of the top
ten river journeys in the world by National Geographic and we couldn't agree
more.
At GRG, it
is one of our personal favourite and we run on average six trips to this
incredible river a year, more than any other rafting operator in Nepal. Five are headed out this fall
alone.
This trip
has something to offer for every level of paddler, even if you've never been on
a river before! For the complete beginners, you can raft it between Oct-Dec,
April- June. For those who are daring enough we can even teach you to kayak as
we paddle down.
For more
experienced paddlers, the best time is at HIGH water, Sept-Oct of May-June. We
will always have safety kayakers along with our trips and gear raft support to
keep you safe.
The Sun
Kosi boasts some of the best rapids in the world. Hakapur, Jungle Corridor,
Jaws, Rollacoaster, Black Hole and Rhino Rock to name a few! You can see below
footage of a kayaker running the infamous Hakapur rapid.
But it's
not just the whitewater that makes this trip so special. Where else can you
escape the world, be without internet, phones and technology for that long. It
gives you the opportunity to leave everything behind and just enjoy the river. Surrounded
by small local villages and jungles, we camp on the most pristine white sandy
beaches (You'll think you're in a postcard!). We'll show you the best cliff
jumps, waterfalls for showers, take you to hidden caves and local temples as
well as visiting rural villages to try out some local cuisine (you'll be trying
to re-create 'Sukute' (dried, fried Buffalo) when you return to your home
country).
