The 10 Days Sunkoshi River Rafting Tour is a thrilling journey designed for adventure seekers eager to experience Nepal’s legendary white-water rapids. Starting and ending in Kathmandu, this river expedition takes you down the SunKoshi—meaning “River of Gold”—one of the world’s most celebrated rafting destinations.
Your trip begins with a scenic drive to Dolalghat or Roshi Khola, the gateway to 270 kilometers of ever-changing rapids, ranging from fun Class III waves to intense Class IV sections. Over eight exhilarating days on the water, you’ll master the river’s rhythm, navigating through dramatic gorges, tranquil stretches, and playful rapids. Each night, you’ll camp along wild riverbanks, enjoying nature, games, and camaraderie under the stars.
SunKoshi rafting isn’t just about the rush of white water; it’s a deep dive into Nepal’s rich natural and cultural heritage. As you paddle downstream, witness the stunning Himalayan foothills, spot diverse birdlife, and pass remote ethnic villages, gaining insights into local traditions and daily life.
This tour’s unique selling point lies in its blend of adventure and immersion—uniting six rivers before reaching Chatara and offering a rare chance to connect with Nepal’s untamed beauty beyond the mountains. The best seasons are from September to November and May to June, promising optimal conditions for both excitement and safety.
Ideal for intrepid travelers who crave more than just trekking, this river rafting trip is a once-in-a-lifetime expedition that combines the thrill of the rapids with the serenity of Nepal’s wilderness. If you’re looking for a truly authentic and pulse-pounding adventure, the Sunkoshi River Rafting Tour delivers an unforgettable blend of adrenaline, culture, and natural splendor.
